SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina

An annual training program on human rights and genocide held by a Turkish government agency is set to start on Friday in Bosnia and Herzegovina to mark the 26th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica.

The Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) will organize its week-long Human Rights Training Program and Genocide Academy for Turkish students studying abroad, young jurists and international students who are recipients of its Turkiye Scholarships program, the agency said in a statement.

Many issues related to human rights, Islamophobia and war crimes will be discussed as part of the program.

The head of the YTB, Abdullah Eren, will also attend the program's opening reception on July 12, it added.
