The State
Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi received a telephone call from President
Erdogan and discussed the issue of Rakhine. President Erdogan said that he is
confident that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as a leader who has faced and overcome
challenges and advocate of human rights will approach the situation with vision
of a long term solution to the issue of Rakhine. He mentioned that there are
concerns worldwide regarding the situation because of the news and photos that
have been widely published.
The State
Counsellor said that “ We know very well, more than most, what it means to be
deprived of human rights and democratic protection. So we make sure that all
the people in our country are entitled to protection of their rights as well
as, the right to, and not just political but social and humanitarian defence.”
The State Counsellor also said that the Government has already started
defending all the people in Rakhine in the best way possible and expressed that
there should be no misinformation to create trouble between the two countries
which have good friendly relations for a long time.
She also
intimated to President Erdogan that his Deputy Prime Minister was subjected to
a lot of fake news photographs taken elsewhere in the world and not in Burma.
She said, that kind of fake information which was inflicted on the Deputy Prime
Minister was simply the tip of a huge iceberg of misinformation calculated to
create a lot of problems between different communities and with the aim of
promoting the interest of the terrorists.
She also
expressed that Turkey which has faced the challenges of terrorism and has to
cope with the PKK will understand the challenge that Myanmar has to face.
She also said
that for the country, terrorism is new but the Government will do its best to
make sure that this does not expand and spread all over Rakhine.
She expressed
her intention to cooperate with friends from all over the world to make sure
that terrorism does not take root on Myanmar soil and said that everybody in
the country is entitled to and get all the security that they need.
She also
informed President Erdogan that the Government is in the process of setting up
an implementation committee to carrying out the recommendations of Dr. Kofi Annan’s
Commission as soon as possible in line with the reality on the ground.
