14 July 2009 [12:35] - TODAY.AZ
Uighur people is satisfied with the support of the Turkish government and people who were one of the first to express concerns over the clashes between local authorities and Uighurs in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, president of World Uighur Congress Rabiya Kadir said.
‘We [Uighurs] believe that Turkey will further render every support what we consider to be significant,” Kadir said. “Turkey is our great friend and brother.”

Kadie said it is wrong to compare events in Urumqi with what happened in Gaza.

She also thanked Turkish prime minister for permission to get entrance visa to that country.

“Earlier I had problems in this respect. But as soon as I am free, I will trip to that country,” Kadir said. “I want to meet with our brothers and Uighurs living in Turkey.”
