- “Words fails to express”

 

Speaking to journalists, Customs and Commerce Minister Bülent Tüfenkci stated that they are in Gaziantep with TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, TOBB Board of Directors and Parliamentary Representatives to extend their condolences to the people of Gaziantep.

Tüfenkci said, “It is impossible to not be horrified by what we’ve seen. Words fail to express the deaths of women and children, the barbarity and the savagery. Our country is under attack by several terror organizations. The goal of these organizations is to exhaust and distress our nation as seen with the recent attacks in Gaziantep, Elazığ, Van and Diyarbakır with inhumane attacks. Praise Allah, our people are resilient and will not be cowed.”
