NO:135 - 29 July 2008, Press Release Regarding the Abhorrent Terrorist Attacks on 25 and 26 July in Bangalore and Ahmedabad, India
The abhorrent terrorist attacks that took place on 25 and 26 July respectively in Bangalore and Ahmedabad, India, which claimed 50 lives and left around 200 wounded, have aroused deep sorrow and concern.



In all her contacts at multilateral, regional and bilateral levels, Turkey has been stressing in the strongest terms that terrorism should be condemned regardless of its sources and pretexts, and be considered a crime against humanity. Turkey once again underlines the vital importance of effective international cooperation and solidarity in the fight against terrorism.



Turkey strongly condemns this terrorist attack which aimed at disrupting the stability of India and shares the grief of the Indian people. We extend our condolences to the families of the victims and the Government and people of India, and wish speedy recovery to those wounded.
