The Armenian president's press office has informed that Serzh Sargsyan has sent a letter of condolence to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of the Republic of Turkey on the blast in
Sanliurfa province which claimed multiple lives. The letter reads as follows:
"Your Excellency,
It was with deep sorrow that I learned of the explosion in the town of Suruc in Turkey's Sanliurfa province that killed a few dozen people.
We strongly condemn all manifestation of terrorism.
Please, accept my condolences on the incident. I wish steadfastness and strength of spirit to the victims' relatives and a speedy recovery to the injured."
