We learned with great sorrow the heinous terrorist attack happened today in Istiklal Street of Istanbul, Turkey. On behalf of the Turkic Council Secretariat and on my own, I convey my condolences to the relatives of innocent people who lost their lives and wish speedy recovery to the wounded and patience to the families of the victims.
I condemn these treacherous inhumane attacks.
