Polish Foreign Ministry sends condolences to Turkey
The Polish Foreign Ministry has sent a message of condolence to Turkey in connection with Saturday's terrorist attacks in Istanbul, the Foreign Ministry wrote in a statement sent to PAP.
We have received the news about the terrorist attacks in Istanbul with deep pain and grief. Let us extend our condolences to the families and relatives of the victims," the ministry wrote.
The Foreign ministry stressed that "it condemned all forms of terrorism and violence against civilians".
"Let us offer our condolences to the Turkish people and the Turkish authorities," the statement read.
In the same statement the Polish Foreign Ministry strongly advised against traveling to eastern and south-eastern Turkey and warned against visiting other regions in that country.
Turkey declared a national day of mourning Sunday after twin blasts in Istanbul killed 38 people and wounded 166 others near a soccer stadium - the latest large-scale assault to traumatize a nation confronting an array of security threats.
The bombs Saturday night targeted police officers, killing 30 of them along with seven civilians and an unidentified person, Turkey's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters Sunday.(PAP)
