No: 408, 31 December 2014

We strongly condemn the terrorist attack which was perpetrated today in Ibb Province of Yemen targeting a cultural center and caused death and injury of many people. We wish God’s mercy upon those who lost their lives in the attack, convey our condolences to their families and the brotherly people of Yemen, and wish also speedy recovery to the wounded.

We observe the recently increasing terrorist attacks in Yemen with sadness. Peace, security and stability in Yemen can only be ensured by enabling the control of state authority throughout the country and establishing the public order. Turkey will continue to support the efforts in line with this goal.
