Komšić: The international community is hypocritical, Turkey condemned the Srebrenica genocide

(Patria) - Željko Komšić, member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, commented on yesterday's information that the ruling Justice and Development Party of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (AKP) and its coalition partner, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), rejected on Wednesday a parliamentary bill proposed by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) to recognize the 1995 Srebrenica massacre as genocide and to declare July 11 as Genocide Remembrance Day.

He dismissed this information and stated that the Turkish Parliament adopted a Declaration condemning the Srebrenica genocide.

Are you in contact with Izetbegović? Do you see each other?

Rarely, the last time I saw him was at Erdogan's inauguration.

Yesterday, news emerged that Erdogan's majority in the Turkish parliament rejected the bill on Srebrenica?

All parties in the Turkish parliament adopted a declaration condemning the Srebrenica genocide. What happened yesterday... that's when information is taken and placed in the wrong context. Opposition representatives, outside the agenda, sought to discuss the law on the Srebrenica genocide.

There is neither a law nor an agenda. The parliament rejected it because all sides had already taken a stance on the Srebrenica genocide. The source from which it all started is very interesting.

You have criticized the international community many times?

They are hypocrites in the international community. When I talk to them, they tell me I am right. They say they live by those principles, but when I ask them if I can live by the same principles, they reply that we are in different conditions. So why don't they help us change them.

You have previously said that the international community intended to remove the SDA?

Yes, they did not hide that.
