 Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned on Saturday the terrorist attack that targeted tourists in Kusadasi resort and killed five and wounded 13 others. Speaking at a news conference, Erdogan said security forces took all measures to maintain security in the scene of the blast, affirming Turkey's determination to combat terrorism and all modes of violence. He further said, terrorism is a deviant phenomenon that has neither a religion nor a country, and it cannot be determined when and where it will take place. Today's blast is the second of its kind where another blast hit a tourist area last Sunday and wounded more than 22 people. Terrorist attacks have lately escalated in Turkey targeting military bases and tourist resorts. |
