“Open your borders to Burma Muslims and we will pay the expenses.” Turkey to Bangladesh




The Turkish president has asked Bangladesh to open its borders for Burma Muslims to pass, and turkey will cover all the required costs.


Rohinghya Muslims are facing ethnic violence and ethnic cleansing for being a Muslim minority.


This issue is not being covered by mainstream media and greatly overlooked by countries worldwide.

“There is a genocide there,” Erdoğan said in a speech in Istanbul during the Islamic Eid al-Adha feast, “Those who close their eyes to this genocide perpetuated under the cover of democracy are its collaborators.”


To escape the violence, about 20,000 Rohingya have massed along the Bangladeshi frontier, barred from entering the south Asian country, while scores of desperate people have drowned attempting to cross the Naf, a border river, in makeshift boats.


There are reports and videos of houses being burnt, men, women and children being beaten and burnt alive, just for being Muslim.
