Erdogan: Terrorist Attacks In Istanbul Will Never Harm Peace, Tranquility, Brotherhood, Confidence And Stability In Turkey

ANKARA - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that terrorist attacks in Istanbul would never harm peace, tranquility, brotherhood, confidence and stability in Turkey.
Erdogan issued a message on the Feast of Ramadan in which he said Turkey would catch up with real level of civilization when obstacles were overcome.
Erdogan noted that they would overcome those obstacles taking determined steps and pave the way for Turkey.
Turkey had started to take steps to put into practice European Union (EU) adjustment laws, Erdogan said.
He stated that Turkey would continue to take those steps determinedly.
''Terrorist attacks which were staged in Istanbul by people who can't endure ongoing peace and tolerance in our country will never harm our peace, tranquility, brotherhood, confidence and stability. Turkey is a strong country and has the potential to use its power in the maximum level. Our efforts aim to achieve this target,'' Erdogan said.
