Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Condemns the October 19 Terrorist Attacks against Turkey

I condemn in the strongest terms the attacks that today took the lives of innocent Turkish citizens are a shocking reminder of the serious threats to the world’s democracies. The victims of terrorism are black and white, Christians, Muslims, and Jews, American, European, Asian, and African.

As I continue my travel in Turkey, this week, I will offer my condolences to families of today’s victims and I will carry the message of American solidarity with the people of Turkey. As Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Europe and Eurasia, I will continue to address congressional attention to the fight against terrorism.
