The Liberation War Affairs Ministry issued a statement on 5 August expressing sincere regret over criticism that a documentary on the July mass uprising omitted important events and contributions.
The documentary had been shown at the ministry-organised 'reception and discussion meeting for July martyrs' families and July fighters'.
According to the ministry, its minister and state minister apologised immediately after the matter was raised at the event, which was attended by the president.
The ministry said the documentary failed to reflect the role of the anti-discrimination student movement, the nine-point programme, the one-point demand announced on 3 August and related historical events.
It described the omissions as completely unintentional and said there was and is no intention to belittle, ignore or conceal the role of any person, organisation or contributor to the uprising.
The ministry said it has begun revising and refining the film by gathering opinions from experts, researchers and movement representatives, and will quickly re-release it to the public.
It reaffirmed its commitment to preserving the history of the July mass uprising accurately, inclusively and on the basis of facts.
