President Rouhani Offers Condolences over Deadly Bombings in Turkey
President Hassan Rouhani in a message on Sunday offered his condolences to Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the terror attacks at a peace rally there.
In his condolence message, President Rouhani expressed sympathy with his Turkish counterpart and the Turkish nation over the Ankara terrorist attack and said Iran, as a victim of terrorism, has always condemned such brutal measures.
Sympathizing with the brotherly nation of Turkey, President Rouhani conveyed his deepest personal sympathies for those killed and injured in these heinous attacks that killed at least 95 people and wounded more than 200.
The twin bombings – the deadliest attack in modern Turkish history – were set off by suspected suicide attackers in a crowd of leftist and pro-Kurdish activists at an anti-government peace rally.
The attacks, near Ankara’s main train station, left bodies of dead demonstrators strewn across the ground.
