Suruç attack targets Turkey's democracy and societal peace: TÜSİAD

ISTANBUL – Doğan News Agency

The Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) condemned the Suruç bombing as “a serious attack that has targeted the democracy and societal peace,” and urged the protection of “the values of human rights, democracy and secularism.”

“We condemn the terror attack in Suruç vigorously, and console Turkey and families of people who have lost their lives in this barbarous attack, along with the people who fell martyr in the clashes in Adıyaman on the same day” said the TÜSİAD in a statement.

TÜSİAD said the primary need is to guarantee the right to live and security of Turkey’s citizens, and to protect citizens from the influences of worsening regional circumstances. TÜSİAD also said the attack showed the necessity to treat unsolved domestic and foreign policy problems as connected issues that must be solved through a common political understanding. 

“We wish that the bomb attack in Suruç will be the last circle of these tragic events that we had witnessed as a whole nation. We await the security forces’ to reveal the offenders within the shortest time,” TÜSİAD added.
