The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, in message regarding the bomb attack which took place in İstanbul, stated that the attack and those like it in recent history will never attain their goals; he condemned terror and those who support it.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his message:

“The explosion which took place in İstanbul showed us once again the ugly face of the terror organizations which target the lives of innocents.

We will never allow terror to disturb our peace and solidarity or to shake our belief in the future. We will overcome these tragedies by coming together as a nation.

On behalf of the Turkish business community I pray for the grace of Allah upon those who lost their lives and extend our condolences to their families and our great nation; I wish speedy recovery for the wounded.”
