Türkiye is probably the most related nation to Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a standard Ottoman heritage, an area Muslim non secular chief informed Anadolu.
“Türkiye is the closest country to us. We are part of a common heritage, the Ottoman culture. We have excellent relations. We always receive support and understanding from the Religious Affairs Directorate,” stated Grand Mufti Husein Kavazovic.
Kavazovic highlighted the significance of being pals with a rustic like Türkiye and stated that Türkiye’s international coverage has a balancing function within the Western Balkans
“We feel safe with Türkiye. I think everyone in the world wishes to be friends with Türkiye. We also have spiritual ties with the Turkish people,” he stated.
Speaking concerning the Israel-Hamas warfare, Kavazovic stated humanity is failing in Gaza.
“History will not forget those who remained silent about what happened in Gaza. Gaza is undoubtedly a great scar on the history of humanity. We are not in a position to stop the atrocities committed in Gaza. Talking about atrocities after Gaza will be much more serious and different…The most surprising thing is the silence. The powers that could stop the war and civilian deaths in Gaza are silent,” he stated.
According to Kavazovic, what is going on in Gaza at this time reminds Bosnians of the Srebrenica genocide that passed off in 1995 throughout the Bosnian War.
“It has been proven in the courts that what happened in Srebrenica was genocide, but what happened in Gaza is nothing but genocide. I appreciate the genocide case filed against Israel by South Africa. South Africa has also experienced many events in its history. This should be a moral lesson for the Islamic world because no such initiative has come from any Muslim country,” stated Kavazovic.
Israel has launched a lethal offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 assault by the Palestinian group Hamas, killing not less than 25,900 Palestinians and injuring 64,110 others. Nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed within the Hamas assault.
The Israeli warfare has left 85% of Gaza’s inhabitants internally displaced amid acute shortages of meals, clear water and medication, whereas greater than half of the enclave’s infrastructure has been broken or destroyed, in line with the UN.
