Let Kill Islamophobia Let Kill Racism Solidarity Between Rohingya Muslims And Turks Dates Back To WWI, Deputy PM Says

The solidarity between Rohingya Muslims and the Turks dates back to the First World War, when the former provided material and emotional support to the Ottoman Government, a document released by Deputy Prime Minister Fikri Işık showed Friday.

According to a records obtained from the Ottoman archives, Rohingya people sent 1,391 pounds to the Ottomans in 1913 for the relief of the Turkish people wounded in the Balkan Wars, which took place between 1912 and 1913.

The letter, written to Grand Vizier Prince Hilmi Paşa, congratulated the empire for its victory.


"I take this opportunity of congratulating your Highness and the members of your Cabinet and all my Turkish Co-religionists for the marvelous and magnificent fete of reoccupying Adrianople and some of the lost territory and thus restoring the Prestige of the Ottoman Empire" the head of Ottoman Relief Fund in Rangoon Ahmed Mawla Dawood said in the letter.

He also noted that the Rohingya people celebrated the victory of their fellow Muslim brethren and prayed at the mosques.

The deputy prime minister noted in a series of tweets that the letter shows deep solidarity between the Rohingya and Turkish people.

"Our grateful nation has always stood by the oppressed and the innocent, and has provided hope to those in need" Işık said.

He noted that Turkey, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will continue to provide assistance to everyone in need.

Ankara urged international action against the persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke with Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and Turkey sent humanitarian aid to the Rohingya following the call.

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu also spoke with counterparts from various countries to urge others to take action.

On Thursday First Lady Emine Erdoğan and a delegation of political and non-governmental organization officials went to Bangladesh to visit Rohingya refugees at a camp in Cox Bazaar.

Violence broke out in the Rakhine state after security forces launched an operation against Rohingya Muslims, forcing at least 120,000 people, including women and children to flee and seek refuge in neighboring Bangladesh since Aug. 25, when clashes began.

Myanmar security forces are accused of using disproportionate force and destroying homes of the Rohingya.

The U.N. documented mass gang-rape, killings -- including infants and young children -- brutal beatings and disappearances. Rohingya representatives have said approximately 400 people have been slain in the crackdown.
