Dacic, Zannier condemn terrorist attack in Turkey

At least 27 people have been killed and nearly 100 hospitalized in the explosion, Turkey's Interior Ministry said.

"Today's attack is an attack on us all," said Dacic on Monday. "This brutal incident, following those in Egypt, Tunisia and France, is yet another attempt to instill widespread fear in our societies. Instead of reacting as the terrorists want, we must commit ourselves to standing together in countering terrorism and violent extremism."

Zannier said, "This attack is yet another sad piece of evidence that violent extremism recognizes no ethnic, religious or state borders. The highest priority for all should be to intensify joint efforts to stand up to forces that are attempting to use violence and fear to exploit what still divides us. OSCE is sparing no efforts to rise to the challenge."

Dacic and Zannier offered their support to the people and government of Turkey.

Turkey is one of the OSCE's 57 participating states.
