I have no desire to correct inaccuracies or respond in detail to the posts written by you and your colleague.
I can only suggest that, if you have the time, you study the history of Bosnia and the Bosniaks more closely. This would help you understand us and appreciate our contribution to the Ottoman Empire. As well as grasp that our current situation is a direct consequence of the suppression of our desire for autonomy during the empire's decline. We earned this fate by serving as the bulwark of the empire's western borders for over four centuries despite the fact that there was never actually a turkish army in Bosnia while also maintaining a military presence throughout the rest of the empire. Instead of using autonomy to focus on ourselves and strengthen Bosnia ahead of the decisive battles and wars for survival against the West, we were forced to continue expending our human and other resources for the Ottoman Empire. Consequently, we lacked the strength to resist the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy during the decisive conflict that cost us our sovereignty. A period of devastation followed, lasting until the recent war in Bosnia, when we rebuilt our army from scratch, survived, and preserved Bosnia’s statehood even though aggression and genocide reduced us to holding only 33% of the territory. In this context, try to understand my "resentment" regarding Turkey's conduct toward us from the loss of our statehood until the recent war.
As I wrote earlier, the past should remain in the past; what matters are our actions in the present and the future.
