Turkey reaffirms commitment in fight against terror

Terrorist attacks are possible in every country and Turkey has been and will continue to take all necessary security measures, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said, when questioned whether Turkey is at risk of an attack similar to the one that took place at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris a few days ago.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu declared at a press conference following the closing session of the 7th Ambassadors’ Conference on Jan. 9 held in Ankara.
“We have to be prepared against attacks from both inside and outside the country,” Çavuşoğlu said.
It is not possible to foresee where and when a terrorist attack will be carried out, he added, noting that Turkey has suffered from terrorism for a long time and is currently trying to resolve the problem regarding the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
Turkey condemns every kind of terrorism, he said, adding that Ankara will act with other countries in a determined way to fight against terrorism.
