Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu condemned terrorist attacks which killed at least 26 civilians in Brussels on Tuesday.

"I curse the attacks in Brussels, which have once again shown the global face of terror," said Davutoglu at a parliamentary address to his party lawmakers.

"I offer my condolences to the government and the people of Belgium and I want to express solidarity on behalf of our people," Davutoglu said.

"I invite all of humanity to stand united against global terror and any sort of terrorism," he added.

Turkey has recently been rocked by a series of bombing attacks committed by the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) and the Islamic State (IS) in Turkish capital of Ankara and the Turkish largest city of Istanbul which killed over 100 civilians. Endit
