We are One and Together!

Hakan Fiden, Türkiye Foreign Minister

I wish God’s mercy upon our brothers who
were martyred in the vile terrorist attack
against TAI in Ankara and a speedy recovery
to the wounded.

We will continue our fight with determination
against all terrorist elements and the forces
that feed them, both at home and abroad.

In the coming period, we will continue to
strengthen our national defense capabilities
and will never allow the groups and their
proxies targeting Turkey to achieve their
ambitions over our country.

Turkish Defence Industry
