Istanbul: Some 12.5 million Muslims have been killed in wars over the past 25 years, Head of the Turkish Historical Society Refik Turan said Saturday adding that throughout the history humans have fought and war is an inevitable fact of life.
“According to a recent research, the number of Muslims who died in the fights and wars in the world in the last 25 years have reached 12.5 million. This almost accounts for the losses in a World War", he said while speaking at a conference in Istanbul.
“Turkey addresses 80 percent [of problems] in Syria. No one has this sort of potential. After the terrorists are cleared from Manbij, the ray [of hope] will light up all of Syria", he added.
Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since 2011 when the Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity, according to Anadolu Agency (AA).
Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict, according to the United Nations.
