29 June, 2016After the murderous attacks on 10 October 2015, 17 February, 18 March and 19 March 2016, another massacre through suicide bombers with guns happened on 28 June in Turkey. This time the target was Atatürk Airport in Istanbul, one of the leading hubs. So far, 41 innocent people have been killed, while 239 are reported to be injured.
Within a year, 294 people have been killed in 17 bomb attacks in Turkey. It is more than enough!
“IndustriALL Global Union condemns this barbarous slaughter in Istanbul”, said Jyrki Raina, general secretary.
“We mourn for all who lost their lives and extend our condolences to our affiliates and the people of Turkey.
“This needs to come to an end. The international community must wage a much greater effort for genuine peace in the world, particularly in the Middle East, where millions of people have lost their lives and are still face with such tragedes every day. Terrorism is now a global phenomenon, and needs to be defeated.
"IndustriALL Global Union reiterates its fundamental mission to stand for democracy, peace, equality, human rights, unity and solidarity. We join the Turkish unions when they say:
“'We are sad, indignant, mourning, insurgent, but we will not fear, we will not give up, we will not forget'."
