Head of the SNSD [Alliance of Independent Social Democrats] floor group
in the Bosnia-Herzegovina parliament’s House of Representatives Drago
Kalabic has said that the law banning the burqa and the resolution
condemning the genocide committed by Turkey [Ottoman Empire]
against Armenians would be adopted by the [Bosnian] Serb Republic
People’s Assembly if the Bosniaks [Muslims] fail to support it in
the Bosnia-Herzegovina parliament.

"Many countries have already adopted a resolution on Turkish crimes.

We want to prove that the Bosniak side is most flagrantly abusing
the victims of Srebrenica, and to call things by their proper names.

Turkey wants to be an important political factor, so let’s see how
this country has dealt with its history," Kalabic told Pres [Banja
Luka daily].

He said that the situation was the same with the burqa.

Kalabic recalled that many European countries had banned the veil
for security reasons.

"Their security agencies say that they cannot wage a proper struggle
against terrorism if they cannot identify an individual at any given
moment. If Turkey has banned the burqa, why should Bosnia-Hercegovina
not do the same?" Kalabic concluded.

The proposed resolution reads:

"By recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Bosnia and Herzegovina will
pay homage to the victims, pay respect to the survivors and their
posterity, and will contribute to the prevention of future crimes
against humanity…By adopting this resolution, Bosnia and Herzegovina
wants to contribute to the establishment of lasting peace between
Turks and Armenians" and asks Bosnian diplomatic representatives to
acknowledge, through regular diplomatic channels, that a genocide
has been committed against the Armenians.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
