🇧🇦 Provocation in East Sarajevo: Bust Unveiled for Russian Diplomat Who Vetoed Srebrenica Genocide Resolution

Just days before the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, a bust of Vitaly Churkin — the Russian UN ambassador who vetoed the 2015 UN resolution recognizing the genocide — was unveiled in East Sarajevo. Many view the move as a direct provocation and a continuation of Republika Srpska’s denial policy.

🇷🇺 Провокация в Восточном Сараево: открыт бюст российскому дипломату, наложившему вето на резолюцию о геноциде в Сребренице

За несколько дней до 30-й годовщины геноцида в Сребренице в Восточном Сараево был открыт бюст Виталию Чуркину — российскому послу при ООН, который в 2015 году наложил вето на резолюцию ООН о признании геноцида. Многие расценили этот шаг как прямую провокацию и продолжение политики отрицания геноцида со стороны Республики Сербской.

🇧🇦🇹🇷 The Young Turks, the Betrayal, and the Annexation of Bosnia

In the shadows of empire and revolution, a fateful decision was made—one that Bosniaks would never forget.

After 30 years of Austro-Hungarian occupation, the Young Turk regime in Istanbul—sworn enemies of the old Ottoman order—quietly signed away Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The annexation of 1908 was not Sultan Abdul Hamid’s doing. He was deposed soon after.
The deal? Recognition of Austro-Hungarian annexation in exchange for 2.5 million Ottoman lira, under the pretext of "compensation for imperial properties".

But the truth was clear to many: this was the final surrender of Bosnia — not by an empire in strength, but by revolutionaries eager to Westernize and sever Islamic ties.

Muslim leaders in Bosnia responded with despair. In a memorandum to the Ottoman Parliament, they wrote:

“You sold us, your most loyal sons, to the enemy — not for strategy, but for silver. We would give 10 million lira, even our children, not to suffer this shameful betrayal.”

The Young Turks, obsessed with European modernity, viewed Bosnia as a burden of the old order. In their minds, cutting it loose served the dream of a new, secular, Turkish republic.

But for the Bosniaks, it was a brutal awakening — the Caliphate they died for had walked away.

A century later, the myth that “the Turks sold us” still echoes.
But it wasn’t the Caliphate who sold Bosnia. It was the Young Turks who abandoned it.

Let history speak.

🇧🇦🇹🇷 Jön Türkler, İhanet ve Bosna’nın İlhakı

İmparatorluk ve devrim gölgesinde, Boşnakların asla unutamayacağı kader belirleyici bir karar alındı.

Otuz yıllık Avusturya-Macaristan işgalinin ardından, İstanbul’daki Jön Türk rejimi — eski Osmanlı düzeninin yeminli düşmanları — sessizce Bosna-Hersek’i elden çıkardı.

1908 yılındaki ilhak Sultan II. Abdülhamid’in kararı değildi. Zaten kısa süre sonra tahttan indirildi.
Anlaşma neydi? “İmparatorluk mülkleri için tazminat” bahanesiyle Avusturya-Macaristan’ın Bosna’yı ilhakını tanıma karşılığında 2.5 milyon Osmanlı lirası.

Ama birçok kişi gerçeği açıkça görüyordu: Bu, Bosna’nın son kez teslim edilmesiydi — güçlü bir imparatorluk tarafından değil, Batılılaşma ve İslamî bağları koparma hevesindeki devrimciler tarafından.

Bosna’daki Müslüman liderler bu ihanete çaresizlikle karşılık verdi. Osmanlı Meclisi’ne gönderdikleri bir muhtırada şöyle yazdılar:

“Siz, en sadık evlatlarınızı düşmana sattınız — strateji için değil, gümüş için. Bu utanç verici ihaneti yaşamamak için 10 milyon lira, hatta çocuklarımızı bile verirdik.”

Avrupa modernitesine saplantılı Jön Türkler için Bosna, eski düzenin yüküydü. Onlara göre Bosna’dan vazgeçmek, yeni, seküler bir Türk cumhuriyeti hayaline hizmet ediyordu.

Ama Boşnaklar için bu acı bir uyanıştı — uğruna can verdikleri Halifelik arkasını dönmüştü.

Bir asır sonra bile hâlâ yankılanan bir söz var: “Bizi Türkler sattı.”
Ama Bosna’yı satan Halifelik değildi. Onu terk eden Jön Türklerdi.

Bırakın tarih konuşsun.

On the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, seven more newly discovered people murdered by the Bosnian Serbs will be buried.

In July 1995 more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys in and around the town of Srebrenica were massacred by the Bosnian Serb Army in the first legally recognised genocide in Europe since the end of World War 2.

🇹🇷🇧🇦🇮🇷 30 Years After Srebrenica: Khamenei and Erdoğan Condemn Western Hypocrisy and Global Inaction

On the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei recalled his words from the day after Srebrenica fell in 1995:

"Anyone who wants to see the lies behind US and Western claims of defending human rights should look at what happened in Srebrenica and elsewhere."

Turkish President Erdoğan also shared a message:

"Even after 30 years, the pain of our Bosniak brothers and sisters remains fresh. The failure of the international community to stop the genocide is a shame that will never be forgotten."

He recalled the words of Alija Izetbegović:
"Whatever you do, do not forget the genocide, because a forgotten genocide will be repeated."

Erdoğan added that the UN’s failure in Gaza today shows it has not learned from Srebrenica — but he vowed that Turkey will continue to defend peace and justice, and that Israel will one day face accountability.

⚠️ Provocation in Srebrenica After Genocide Commemoration

Just hours after the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide a disturbing act of provocation took place.

Last night, in front of the Orthodox church in Srebrenica, the nationalist song by Baja Mali Knindža was blasted through loudspeakers:

"Wolves send a message from Manjača:
Banja Luka Turks, move away
Don’t touch our Republika Srpska
Pack your bags and flee to Turkey
Oh Alija, you're no longer in charge
The Orthodox people have won"

This hate-filled song, openly glorifying ethnic cleansing and mocking the victims, was deliberately played in a town still mourning the mass murder of over 8,000 Bosniaks.

Geography of Genocide map shows mass grave locations and the connections between primary and secondary graves where victims of the Srebrenica Genocide were found.

🇸🇾 Will Syria Normalise Relations with Israel?

The short answer is yes—they will normalise, and it will be brokered by the United States.

This will, of course, cause outrage. There will be all sorts of sympathisers of the old regime and pseudo-political analysts who will say, "I told you so," even though they still can't explain why Assad fell, and we’re still waiting on their prediction that the country would Balkanise. So just ignore them.

Why will it happen?

It will happen because the "New Syria" we now see is under the management of the GCC and Turkey, and Ahmed Al Sharaa has either received or will receive orders to normalise relations—which he will carry out.

This is being done to stop further Israeli aggression in Syria and to bring more stability and peace to both the country and the region. The Israelis will be insufferable, but in reality, they’ll be angry that they can no longer attack Syria and stir up more conflict in the Middle East.

The Druze will end up being thrown off the ship.

It's been a while since I've done any political commentary on the Middle East in this format. For those new to the channel, I'd like to let you know that I used to do this more frequently—so this is really nothing new.
