Kyrgyzstan rejects forced relocation of Palestinian people
Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Edil Baisalov spoke on the situation in Palestine at a session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Kazinform News Agency reports.
The Kyrgyz official called on the international community for decisive actions in the name of justice.
“Any attempts to forcibly relocate the Palestinian people are nothing more than ethnic cleansing. We categorically reject such initiatives and call on the international community to prevent the collective punishment of an entire nation,” he stated.
Kyrgyzstan reaffirmed its support for the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Edil Baisalov emphasized that long-term peace is possible only through respect for international law and equal dialogue.
Earlier, it was reported that Donald Trump put forward an idea to forcibly relocate Palestinian people from Gaza Strip to Jordan or Egypt and offered other countries of the region to accept them. Both Amman, and Cairo rejected this idea. Riyadh and the countries of the region negatively perceived Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's "joke" about the possibility of creating a Palestinian state on the territory of Saudi Arabia.
