Albanian FM condemns wedding attack in Turkey

Xinhua, August 22, 2016 Adjust font size:

Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ditmir Bushati condemned on Sunday the attack that took place at a wedding ceremony in Turkey's Gaziantep late Saturday, leaving at least 50 people dead and about 100 others wounded.

The Albanian official extended the condolence to the families of the victims, and expressed Albania's solidarity with Turkey.

"Another deadly terrorist attack at a wedding party in Turkey. My thoughts are with the families of the victims," Bushati said.

After the bomb blast, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared Saturday night that the suspected suicide bomber in the wedding blast was between 12 and 14 years old. He blamed the Islamic State (IS) group for the attack. Endit
