Foreign Ministry announcement on the terrorist attack in the town of Suruc, Turkey

“We unequivocally condemn the suicide attack on young volunteers at the cultural center in the town of Suruc, Turkey.

We express our condolences to the families of the victims and the wounded, as well as to the government of Turkey at this difficult time.

Terrorism aimed at international destabilization is doomed to failure. Greece, in cooperation with the countries of the region, as well as within the framework of the EU, will not cease to support the peoples being tested by the barbaric violence of extremism, religious obscurantism and intolerance.”
