Fethullah Gülen's Condolences for the Terrorist Act of Bombing on İstiklal Street in İstanbul

I wish God's mercy on our people who lost their lives at the bomb attack on İstiklal Street, and a speedy recovery to our wounded. May Allah give patience and fortitude to his relatives. I send my condolences to all our citizens.

 

Detonating a bomb in one of the most crowded places in the city and attempting to kill people is an act of terrorism that cannot be condoned either in terms of humanity, conscience or religion. Whatever the purpose, the thought of resorting to such acts and its actual execution are both deserving of condemnation.

 

May God Almighty protect our homeland and nation from all troubles and calamities, including terrorism.
