Presidency's Head of Communications, Burhanettin Duran, issued a message condemning the drone attack on the Holy City of Mecca.
In a message shared on his NSosyal account, Head of Communications Duran stated:
“I condemn in the strongest terms the despicable attempted drone attack targeting the sanctity and security of the Holy City of Mecca.
Any attempted attack against the Two Holy Mosques, sacred to the Islamic world, wounds our collective conscience. Safeguarding the peace and security of the Holy City of Mecca is a matter of utmost importance to the entire Islamic world.
As our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has always emphasised, the Islamic world needs not new conflicts, but common sense, dialogue and lasting peace.
We stand with our brotherly country, Saudi Arabia and extend our sympathies following this attack.”
