Tehran (IP) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stated that Srebrenica's genocide began while Europe failed to do its basic duties.

Iran PressIran news: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in a Twitter message on Saturday, "25 years ago today, Srebrenica Genocide began as Europe failed to uphold its basic duties. A quarter of a century later Europe is plagued by the same ineptitude."

Foreign Minister added: "The failure of the UN to take any action at the time—to forever haunt the world body—should remain a lesson for the present."

In July 1995, forces of the Army of the Republika Srpska, the VRS, invaded the town of Srebrenica, in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. In a few horrific days, more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim boys and men were taken to places of detention, abused, tortured, and then executed. As their bodies fell into mass graves, the machinery of denial of those crimes was set into motion.
