SAEDNEWS: Turkey rejects all statements and remarks that seek to deny the Srebrenica genocide or "glorify war criminals" in defiance of international court rulings, the Turkish president said on Friday.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s remarks came in a video message marking the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, which claimed the lives of thousands of Bosnians.
Erdogan also reiterated Ankara's continued and unconditional support for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and constitutional order, Anadolu Agency reported.
Touching on Israel's relentless ongoing attacks on Gaza, Erdogan said that decades ago the international community remained silent on Srebrenica, and now in recent years it is a mere bystander to the oppression taking place in Palestine.
Erdogan vowed that the Israeli regime will be held accountable “sooner or later” before the law and history for its genocide of nearly 58,000 Palestinians.
Hakan Fidan, Turkey’s foreign minister, also marked the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide with a message shared on social media.
"This profound tragedy, whose pain remains deeply felt in our hearts, has left an indelible mark on humanity’s conscience,” he said. “Remembering it and ensuring it is never forgotten is a collective responsibility we all share."
