Obama Statement Read At Srebrenica Genocide Commemoration

Last Sunday, the White House released a statement from President Obama (full text) marking the 15th anniversary of the genocide of 8000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys by Seb troops at Srebrenica. The President called the genocide "a stain on our collective conscience." CNN reports that a U.S. delegation read the President's statement at ceremonies in Bosnia-Herzegovina marking the anniversary. The ceremony included the burial of 775 more recently-identified genocide victims at the Centre Potocari, the official Srebrenica Genocide Memorial.
