Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

We Christians do not want to live under Muslim rule any longer, because for 500 years Muslims and Turks ruled here and Serbs survived somehow. I do not know how they endured the torture they suffered for 500 years.

We believe that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a place for us.

We see President Trump as freedom, hope, a new window opening to freedom.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

The Dayton Agreement is a fiction designed by O'Brien and Clinton, Hillary Clinton, because they were crazed with this multiethnic coexistence concept.

Instead of us going our separate way just as Yugoslavia did, they put us together in Bosnia to live with Muslims and Croats again.

We believe that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a place for us.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

Biden made life miserable here. For example, I could not receive my salary. I was not allowed to have a bank account, so postmen would come and hand over the salary to me.

Administrations such as Biden’s, I do not want to see another one in my life.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

Many asked that we should support the two-state solution, that Palestine should be recognized as a state, and it was because of me I said Palestine shall not be recognized.

Because of me and because of us, Palestine was not recognized.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik on Israel:

I think that everything that Israel has done since the 7th of October is justified.

Israel should not suffer.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik:

I was in Brussels and there was no street lighting there. And I asked, "What's happening here? Why no lights?" And they said that that's because of President Putin.

But what does Putin have to do with the streets in Brussels?

Trump:

Why should perpetrators of FAKE NEWS, like CNN and MSDNC, be allowed access to a very sacred place, the White House?

Despite my big Election Win, almost 100% of “TRUMP” coverage is negative, and has been for years!

Dodik Says Bosnian Serbs Should Not Live 'Under Muslim Rule'

Turkish President Erdogan on Netanyahu:

The place for war criminals who have been issued arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court is not the United Nations podium, but the courtrooms where they will answer for the murders they committed and the blood they shed.

Turkish President Erdogan:

I said it before. I am saying it once again today.

We are determined to unmask the occupying Zionist mindset that considers itself chosen, sees itself as superior to all other people, and has no compassion, conscience, morality, or principles.

No matter what they do, we will not take a step back.

Turkish President Erdogan:

If those who commit genocide are not held accountable before justice, if they are not made to answer before the law and before history, the same brutality will happen again. Know that our children, too, will face the same human tragedy.

We, personally, will continue our struggle for justice until our last breath. Türkiye and the Turkish nation will likewise continue this fight.

Turkish President Erdogan:

The UN General Assembly has given war criminals the response they deserve.

The principled stance displayed by diplomatic delegations by leaving the hall has struck the face of the genocide network like a slap.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Although the genocidal criminals who massacred tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza and Lebanon are disturbed by us confronting them with the truth, praise be to God, we once again courageously voiced what is right.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Türkiye, with its conscientious, honorable, moral and courageous stance, has become a source of hope for the oppressed and has also inspired courage in other countries.

I wholeheartedly congratulate all the countries and leaders who, in the United Nations General Assembly hall and from its podium, have given voice to the shared conscience of humanity.
