Memorial Day of Srebrenica

Bosnian and Turkish communities of Dallas came together at Raindrop Foundation to remember martyrs of Srebrenica. There was a tragic event in which 8000 Bosnian men were massacred by the Serbians in July 1995, in a small city of Srebrenica. Memorial Day program started with an informational session about the event and followed by hymn performed by the Bosnian Sunday school students of Dallas and Forth Worth. Preceding condemning such an atrocious event, program continued with collective prayers for the men who died in Srebrenica and also for a peaceful world. Both Turkish and Turkmen community expressed their sympathy with Bosnian grief. After the program, dishes from Turkish and Bosnian cuisine were served. Raindrop Turkevi wishes that such tragic events will not occur anymore and only taught at history classes in school. (15, July, 2007, Dallas)
