    Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly President (PACE) Rene van
    der Linden, currently on an official visit to Belgrade, strongly
    condemned the recent bomb attack in Ankara. "In our societies there
    is no place for those who put bombs in our streets to kill innocent
    people. Nothing can justify such attacks, which are an assault on
    the fundamental principles of our societies," he said. Expressing
    his firm support for the democratic institutions in Turkey he said
    "we have to fight those who destabilise them. We have to stand firm
    for democracy and the rule of law and intensify cooperation in the
    fight against terrorism."

    He sent his condolences to the families of the victims and expressed
    his solidarity with the Turkish people and authorities.

    To remind, 6 people were killed and more than 100 people were injured
    in the result of yesterday's bomb attack in Ankara.
