U.S. President Bush Condemns Attacks In Istanbul

WASHINGTON - U.S. President George W. Bush condemned on Saturday bomb attacks against two synagogues in Istanbul.
Bush issued a statement in which he harshly condemned the terrorist attacks in Istanbul.
U.S. President Bush drew attention that Istanbul, where the attack was staged, was a city where Muslim, Jewish and Christian society had co-existed for centuries.
Bush said that those attacks against Jewish society in Turkey who gathered at synagogues in Istanbul to pray recalled them that their enemy in the fight against terrorism did not have conscience and belief.
Noting that Turkey had suffered much from terrorism for tens of years, Bush said that the United States was beside Turkey in global fight against terrorism.
Bush expressed condolences to relatives of those who died in the attacks, the Jewish society in Turkey and all Turkish people.
