Iran Press/Europe: According to Iran Press news agency from Sarajevo, the 29th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, in which more than eight thousand Bosnian Muslims were massacred in the UN safe zone in July 1995, was held in Potocari cemetery in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In this ceremony, the remnants of 14 recently examined Shia victims were buried with prayers.
Before the funeral and burial ceremony, political officials of Bosnia and other countries, foreign ambassadors and diplomats, and officials of international organizations honored the memory of the victims by donating flowers and paying tribute.
Abozar Ebrahimi, Iran's ambassador, along with a high-ranking delegation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs participated in this ceremony.
The Bosnian Persian College and Iran's cultural consultancy had an active presence in Srebrenica with the exhibition of graphic works by Iranian and Bosnian artists on the topic of genocide.
Although July 11 was approved by the resolution of the UN General Assembly as the day of remembrance of the genocide in Srebrenica, the struggle to interpret the war and genocide in Srebrenica still continues.
