Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday commemorated the victims of the Srebrenica genocide.
“On the 31st anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, one of the most brutal genocides in history, I remember with sadness and mercy all our Bosnian brothers and sisters who were massacred.
“I respectfully honor the cherished memory of our martyrs and pray for patience and strength for their families and loved ones. We will never forget Srebrenica,” he promised in a message on social media.
After Bosnian Serb forces, under the command of Ratko Mladic, took Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, Bosnian civilians who had taken refuge in the UN base staffed by Dutch peacekeepers were then handed over to Serbian forces.
A total of 8,372 Bosnian men and boys were transported by buses and trucks to forests, warehouses and factories, where they were brutally killed. Their bodies were then buried in mass graves across the country in an attempt to cover up the crime.
After the war, victims whose remains were found in mass graves and identified were buried every year on July 11 at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery.
So far, 6,772 victims have been buried at the cemetery, while 250 were buried in local cemeteries at the request of their families. The remains of more than 1,000 genocide victims have not yet been found.
In a 2007 ruling, the International Court of Justice, based on evidence presented by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), classified the atrocities committed in and around Srebrenica as genocide.
Ten more identified genocide victims, whose families approved their burial, will be buried on Saturday at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery as part of the annual commemorations.
