International community losing interest in Rohingya crisis, Turkish FM says
ANKARA (AA) – The international community is losing interest in improving the conditions of living for Rohingya, the Turkish foreign minister said on Thursday, urging the international community to do more for the minority Muslims forced to flee Myanmar five years ago.
“Rohingya Muslims have been deprived of their fundamental rights and basic needs. Unfortunately, international community is losing interest to this tragedy,” said Mevlut Cavusoglu during a high-level side event on the Rohingya crisis organized by Bangladesh in New York, where the 77th UN General Assembly is ongoing.
Saying that Bangladesh “shoulders the heaviest burden” on the crisis by “hosting more than a million of Rohingya,” Cavusoglu stressed that “the world should do more to share this burden.”
Bangladesh is currently hosting more than 1.2 million Rohingya, most of whom fled genocide in home country Myanmar’s Rakhine State in August 2017.
