“Last year, the United Nations voted to designate July 11 as the day of international memory for the Slebrenica genocide,” Arakich wrote on his X page Thursday on the 30th anniversary of the Slebrenica genocide.
He added, “It’s a day of shame for those who were accomplices or silent as thousands of innocent Muslims were slaughtered.”
“On the 30th anniversary of this serious atrocity, Iran pays tribute to the innocent martyrs and expresses solidarity between the survivors and their families.
He concluded, “Iran will always stand with the oppressed, whether in Bosnia and Herzegovina or Palestine.”
The Bosnian War was a devastating conflict between Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995, involving Bosnian Muslims, Serbs and Croatians. The war was characterized by extensive ethnic cleansing, genocide and many atrocities that targeted Muslims mainly in Bosnian.
One of the darkest chapters of the war was the Slebrenica massacre in 1995, during which more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were systematically executed, and is widely recognized as an act of genocide.
