We have learned with sorrow that many Iraqis were killed and wounded in a terrorist attack perpetrated today (21 November) in Tuzhurmatu district which is densely populated by our Turkmen brothers and sisters.

We strongly condemn this terrorist attack which targets social peace in Iraq. We convey our deepest condolences to the friendly and brotherly people of Iraq, wish Allah’s mercy upon those who lost their lives and speedy recovery to the wounded.

Turkey will continue to fully support the Government of Iraq and the Iraqi people in their fight against terrorism.
