We strongly condemn the terrorist attack perpetrated yesterday in the city of Manchester of the United Kingdom, which claimed lives of many people and left many wounded.
 
We convey our deepest condolences to the United Kingdom and the British people, on behalf of Turkey and the Turkish people who unfortunately have a profound experience of the savagery and the pain of such heinous attacks perpetrated by inhumane circles.
 
We will maintain our decisive and effective fight against terrorism, side by side with our close friend and ally the United Kingdom, in order to root out all kinds of sources generating this scourge. This will be the best joint response to the despicable attack in Manchester.
