The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, in a press release regarding the terror attack which took place in Ankara, referring to the attack as a disgraceful incident for humanity, “This heinous attack in the capital is an attack on the lives of innocents as well as the unity and solidarity of our country.

Even calling those who perpetrated this underhanded act human is impossible. We are assured that those responsible will pay the highest price and will never reach their goals.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in the press release:

“The explosion which took place in Ankara in the evening has shown us once again the repugnant face of those who resort to inhuman methods.

Harming innocents has been condemned throughout history. Those who undertook this ugly, despicable act should know that, no matter what their goals are, they will never reach them.

Nobody can threaten the peace and solidarity of this country.

The pain we’re experiencing will be overcome by embracing each other in solidarity.

On behalf of the Turkish business community, I pray for the grace of Allah upon those who lost their lives in the attack and extend our condolences to their families and our great nation, we hope for a speedy recovery for the wounded.”
