The meeting began with an official welcoming ceremony for Becirovic, although no details of their talks were made public. Afterwards, however, the two leaders addressed the press in a joint press conference, at which Erdogan drew a parallel between Israel's offensive in Gaza and the genocide in Bosnia in the 1990s /in Srebrenica in 1995 genocide was committed by the Bosnian Serb army, ed./.
"Today in Gaza we are witnessing a massacre similar to that committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s," Erdogan said. He vowed to hold Israel accountable in international courts for the deaths of civilians, including Aysenur Ezgi Eighi, a Turkish-American peace activist killed in the occupied West Bank, and of more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Erdogan stressed that, like the perpetrators of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, those responsible for the bloodshed in Gaza "will be brought to justice in international courts."
In his statement, Becirovic echoed Erdogan's words, calling the situation in Gaza "the greatest disgrace in the world."
