GAZIANTEP
Former President of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency Council, Haris Silajdzic criticised international community for its inaction and indifference for Syria.
Speaking to AA in southeastern Gaziantep province of Turkey, Silajdic said civilian were being killed in Syria as it happened in Bosnia during the Bosnia war.
Silajdzic said targeting civilians was the new dimension of modern wars. He said, geopolitically, several actors have different interests in Syria and international powers would only act when great interest were on the table.
He said Syria issue was beyond Syria and related to the interest of the new world order and new power pyramid.
On Turkey's hospitality towards Syrians sheltered in Turkey, Silajdic said instead of idle talk, Turkey had been doing great job for Syrians and the whole world admires what Turkey had been doing.
He said Turkey also helped Bosnia during the Bosnia war, adding Turkey grew in the last 20 years significantly and became a world power.
Defining the solution process of Turkey as a "historic, strategic, bold and assertive step", he added it should be accepted by all the parties. He said peace was a moral decision.
On Bosnia-Herzegovinia being a EU member, Silajdic said they were open to membership but not to the double standards of the EU. Regarding Turkey's membership process, he said this century was Asia's century and EU should cross the bridge before Turkey closes its doors to the EU.
About AA, Silajdzic said all the media outlets in Bosnia-Herzegovinia were following AA which proved its credibility already.
