Terrorism is common fight, European Council president says on attack in Türkiye
BALI, Indonesia (AA) – European Council President Charles Michel stressed Tuesday that the “fight against terrorism is a common fight.”
Speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia, Michel responded to a question by Anadolu Agency on the deadly weekend terrorist attack on Istanbul’s Istiklal Street, saying, “It is extremely important to be all together, try to prevent, to cooperate at the level of intelligence services.
“The EU has a very strong position. We want to coordinate, cooperate in order to fight against terrorism everywhere,” he added.
Turkish police claimed to have arrested the perpetrator of the attack on Istiklal Avenue, Ahlam Albashir, a Syrian woman who planted the explosives. They have detained dozens of other suspects as well.
The police said Albashir has confessed that she was trained by the YPG/PYD/PKK group as an intelligence operative and entered Türkiye illegally from Afrin, Syria.
The attack left six people dead and injured 81 others.
