The terrible attack which took place at Istanbul airport resembles very much what happened in Brussels’ and in Istanbul in April and March respectively. To halt such attacks the world needs to take a stronger stance in response to terrorism. We as the European Movement Turkey agree with the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon who has declared that more extensive cooperation was necessary to combat such activities and that the perpetrators of these crimes should be identified and brought to justice.
The assault which bears the ISIS marks took place a day after the announcement of an agreement between Israel and Turkey, which aimed at reestablishing relations which had been stagnant for the past six years, at a time when Turkey’s relations with Russia were smoothing down.
