Erdoğan: Turkey aims to build more livable camps for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
President Erdoğan says Turkey continues its multilateral diplomacy with world leaders
Editor / Internet 12:36 September 08, 2017 Yeni Şafak
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the ongoing Rohingya crisis in his speech at Istanbul Atatürk Airport on Friday, before his visit to Kazakhstan.
“We are engaging in multilateral diplomacy for Rakhine. Regarding this issue, we’ve had phone conversations with more than 20 leaders. Moreover, my wife, son, our Foreign Minister and Family and Social Policies Minister visited Bangladesh. Thank God, we have begun yielding results in some matters, even though it is a slow process.
If the Bangladesh government allocates an area for us, we aim to establish more secure and livable camps there.”
Turkey’s first lady receives a warm welcome in Bangladesh
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's wife Emine Erdoğan landed in Bangladesh with a delegation of top officials. She was greeted with a hospitable reception and presented with flowers.
An estimated 270,000 Rohingya refugees have fled Myanmar in the past two weeks and sought refuge in Bangladesh, where two existing refugee camps are "bursting at the seams", the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said on Friday.
In a crackdown last October, the UN documented mass gang rapes, killings – including infants and young children – brutal beatings and disappearances that constituted evidence of human rights violations by security forces that indicated crimes against humanity.
Malaysia ready to provide temporary shelter for Rohingya fleeing violence
Malaysia's coast guard will not turn away Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Myanmar and is willing to provide temporary shelter for them, the maritime agency's chief said on Friday.Malaysia, hundreds of km (miles) to the south on the Andaman Sea, is likely to see more boat people from Myanmar in coming weeks and months because of the renewed violence, said Zulkifli Abu Bakar, the director general of Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency.
Malaysia is already home to over 100,000 Rohingya refugees."We are supposed to provide basic necessities for them to continue their journey and push them away. But at the end of the day, because of humanitarian reasons, we will not be able to do that," Zulkifli told Reuters, adding that no fresh refugees had been seen yet.
Malaysia, a Muslim-majority nation, will likely house the Rohingya refugees in immigration detention centres, where foreigners without documents are typically held, he said.Malaysia, which has not signed the U.N. Refugee Convention, treats refugees as illegal migrants.
Thailand has also said it is preparing to receive people fleeing the fighting in Myanmar
There are about 59,000 Rohingya refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Malaysia although unofficial numbers are almost double that.In 2015, mass graves were exhumed at jungle camps on the border between Thailand and Malaysia that were thought to be mainly Rohingya victims of human traffickers
