If you have no knowledge on law and international treaties, then a dictionary only brings you some humiliation in an international forum and makes you a cheap talker, also gives us some clue about your own intelligence and education that brings you the title of cheap talker and humiliation... bad sign for Dutch education system.
Luckily, I have a PhD in a relevant from a good US university. Done now with the personal attacking (and lack of substantive points)?
You jumped on another topic, which also signals that you are a weak debater who tries to get some leverage.
Sure. Like I said, I'm weak weak weak. Ask around here just how weak.
Anyway, The Dutch soldiers drank some champaign with serbian genociders before they left Bosian civilians into the hands of Serbian genociders, on top of that the same soldiers were given medals by the Dutch state for their ''courage''. Meanwhile, the courts held those ''brave'' Dutch soldiers responsible and therefore ruled compensation.
Anyway, this is all totally unrelated to the issue over which Turkey and Netherlands have a spat, which further illustrates how Erdogan (and, judging from your post, with some succes) is seeking and playing a self-ignited external conflict to mask his own weakness at home. All that was necessary was coming around a week later. But nooooooo, ....he is just seeking to add fuel to make a small fire into a blaze. This man is jeopardizing 400+ years of good relations with NL, just so he can remain in his chair. I wish him and you and Turkey good luck.
Who else did the exact same thing in Europe And how are they called now?
I wouldn't know because it didn't go down the way you portray, as is evident from a ton of Dutch and international reports on the whole period. Your remark about the court ruling is actually incorrect: the court ruled that 8000-60 cases were NOT the responsibility of the Dutch soldiers and hence NOT eligible for compensation. And that sums up the state of your knowledge and debating skill.
Dear cheap talker and weak debater,
Please continue, if you like to bring more humiliation on yourserlf with your own intelligence.
Blablabla. Get a life.
You can ask any Bosnian where Turkey was, and you'll get your answer right away mr. ignorant.
Oh, so really, you can't answer that question.
UNPROFOR was composed of nearly 39,000 personnel. It was composed of troops from Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia,
Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States.
On 12 July 1995 UNPROFOR failed to deter the Bosnian Serb attack on Srebrenica because they were not able to sufficiently reinforce the Dutch battalion in place, and the city was overrun. When the dual key practices effectively prevented any serious air support from materialising all the Dutch could do was evacuate the women and children. The Serbs held the Muslim men and massacred thousands of them.
VRS forces (not Dutch forces) committed several major massacres during 1995.
With 100 members of the Greek Volunteer Guard, together with 2,000–3,000 reinforcements and 200–300 members of the Serb Volunteer Guard, the Bosnian Serbs could muster 4,000–5,000 men for the offensives against Srebrenica and Žepa. Of these, it was estimated that 2,000 would take part in the thrust to capture Srebrenica in July 1995. This included tanks and heavy weapons such as artillery and heavy mortars.
The Bosniaks, not as well-armed as their opponents, had a military force of 6,000 men within the town, about one-third or one-half of whom were armed. 1,500 of these were professional soldiers and 1,500 were armed militiamen.
UNPROFOR DUTCHBAT consisted of around 570 persons armed with personal weapons, machine guns, a couple of anti-tank launchers and a few YPR-765 (=ACV-AIFV).
- The VRS began attacking various points at the southern edge of the Srebrenica enclave on 6 July. The forces of the VRS, numbering 1,500 in the initial stages of the attack, then shelled a series of Dutch observation posts in the southern portion of the enclave, forcing the Dutch peacekeepers stationed there to flee.
- On the other hand, the few thousand remaining Bosniak soldiers of Srebrenica offered little resistance as their best-trained units had already abandoned the town. To make matters worse, Dutch peacekeepers had confiscated their weapons. When the Bosniaks demanded that their weapons be returned to them, the Dutch refused. As a result, Bosniak troops attempted to block the Dutch withdrawal in the face of the Bosnian Serb onslaught and more than 100 Dutch soldiers were taken hostage by the Bosniaks in a desperate attempt to stop them from leaving. Subsequently, a Dutch peacekeeper was killed after a hand grenade was thrown at his APC by a Bosniak soldier.
- The Dutch then demanded that NATO bomb Serb positions around the town, but their requests were ignored.
- With virtually no Bosniak resistance, the VRS relentlessly pounded Srebrenica with artillery on 9 and 10 July. On 11 July, the VRS entered the town. As it did, Mladić had about thirty Dutch soldiers taken hostage (their number now down to 440, encircled and cut of from supply)
- About 3,000-4,000 Bosniak civilians then fled to the UN compound in Potočari where all men between fourteen and seventy were segregated by the VRS, the great bulk of which were trucked to neighboring Serb-held Bratunac. DutchBat personnel who attempted to follow them were seized by the VRS, together with their UN vehicles and some uniforms, weapons and other equipment.
- Whereas Mladić had expected the ARBiH 28th Division to regroup near Potočari, the men of this division chose instead to flee to Bosnian-held territory. On 12 July the Serbs learned that the majority of the town's men had indeed fled the enclave, with 700–900 fleeing east to Serbia, 300–850 fleeing south to Žepa, and 10,000–15,000 fleeing north to Tuzla. Of these 10,000–15,000, approximately 6,000 were fleeing Bosniak soldiers, of whom 1,000–1,500 were armed. By the time the VRS had been redeployed, about 3,000 soldiers of the column's better-armed vanguard had successfully escaped to Tuzla.
- The 9,000–12,000 Bosniaks who remained were encircled by VRS units and attacked by artillery, armor and small arms fire. The relatively few who survived the experience recounted how many panic-stricken Bosniak men committed suicide, killed each other in the dark, or drowned while attempting to cross the Jadar river, but by far the greatest portion of the men surrendered, some unwittingly to VRS soldiers equipped with stolen UN vehicles, helmets and uniforms.
- At midday on 11 July, NATO planes arrived from Italy and struck a Bosnian Serb tank, before being forced to cease operations after General Mladić threatened to "destroy" both the Dutch soldiers and the Bosniak population of Srebrenica unless airstrikes were called off.
- That afternoon, Mladić, accompanied by General Živanović (then Commander of the Drina Corps), General Krstić (then Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the Drina Corps) and other Bosnian Serb officers, took a triumphant walk through the deserted streets of the town of Srebrenica. The moment was captured on film by Serbian journalist Zoran Petrović. Mladić posed for television cameras, before declaring that Srebrenica had been "returned forever to the Serbs."
- Later, Thom Karremans, the commander of the Dutch troops in the town, drank a toast with Mladić which was filmed for Serb television. Off-camera, however, Mladić warned Karremans that the UN compound in Potočari, where thousands of Bosniak refugees had gathered, would be shelled by the VRS if NATO planes reappeared
One can blame the Dutch political and military leadership, as well as UN leadership, but I doubt much that the troops on the ground stood any chance and actually could have done anything.
Now, I'm done dealing with something that is so obviously NOT related to the current dispute between our two countries. Ergodan is just namecalling, nothing more, like a fishwife on the fishmarket. Trying to rattle up nationalistic feelings over a self-created problem. I'm surprised anyone would fall for that.
You have a nice day now.
If Turkey weren't present in Bosnia, we wouldn't have any Bosnia today, this is admitted from Bosnians as well.
