Florida Turkish American Association
Press Release
Yesterday. people around the world, including the board and members of the Florida Turkish American Association (FTAA), were horrified by the news of the murderous terrorist attack on the offices of the Charlie Hebdo Magazine in Paris, that reportedly killed 12 people.
We at the FTAA condemn this despicable act of terrorism.
Common universal values of Democracy bind nations together, as they have bound Turkey, France and the US together for many years.
Those who died in Paris yesterday at the hands of fanatic terrorists gave their life in defense of these values.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk noted in one of his speeches: “Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack, and with the people of France during this difficult time.
