Turkey rejects any statement or stance aimed at denying the genocide in Srebrenica or "glorifying war criminals", contrary to the decisions of international courts, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared.
Erdogan's statement was made via a video message on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, where thousands of Bosniaks were killed.
The Turkish president reiterated that Ankara will continue to unconditionally support the territorial integrity, sovereignty and constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, trtworld writes.

Speaking about the ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza, Erdogan said that the international community was once silent in the face of the Srebrenica tragedy and that, according to him, it remains a spectator to the suffering of the Palestinians even today.
"The world must not forget the lessons from Srebrenica and must work to ensure that such crimes are never repeated," Erdogan said, emphasizing the importance of historical memory and justice for the victims.
The Srebrenica genocide occurred in July 1995, when Bosnian Serb forces killed over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys after occupying the UN-protected area.
Erdogan stressed that Turkey will continue to support peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the entire Balkan region. /Telegraph/
