Our hearts are heavy with the series of sad news from
our home country.
Turkey is suffering from terror attacks by multiple
hate groups. Innocent people have lost their lives or have been
seriously injured. The whole country is in a state of
anxiety. In these dire times, it is crucial to be united as a
nation and to uphold the fundamental values of a democratic society
in our defiance and to not crumble under the aura of fear and
hatred the terrorist attacks aim to establish.
