The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the cowardly terrorist act that targeted the garden of the Amara Culture Center of Suruç in the Sanliurfa province, south of Turkey, resulting in the death and injury of dozens of innocent people.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses its sincere condolences and sympathy to the relatives and families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to all the injured," the ministry said in a statement. "It also reaffirms support for all efforts made by Turkey to promote security and stability in the country, reiterating anew its firm rejection of all forms of terrorism regardless of its motives and justifications."

The ministry calls for more international efforts to eradicate terrorism which has become a serious threat to all countries and societies without distinction and requires concerted international efforts to root it out, the statement added.
