Iran Press/Europe: At the beginning of the meeting, Iran's Ambassador to Sarajevo Hossein Qelichkhan commemorated the 26th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide emphasizing that what happened in the Bosnian war were crimes and the Srebrenica genocide was a symbol of a great crime.
Qelichkhan noted: "Srebrenica [genocide] is a bitter truth, and it is never pleasant to talk about the bitter truth, but we have to discuss it to force the international community to be sensitive to such issues until we no longer witness such a crime."
