France firmly condemns attack against Turkish mission in Somalia

PARIS, July 29 (KUNA) -- France on Monday firmly condemned the attack two days ago against the Turkish embassy in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, which killed one Turkish policeman and wounded three others.
France expressed solidarity with the relatives of the victims and with the Somali and Turkish authorities.
Turkey, like France, is actively involved in helping rebuild the Somali state which has been devastated by more than 20 years of civil conflict.
"Alongside our partners, France will continue to support the efforts of the Somali Federal Government to restore peace and security," a Foreign Ministry statement said here. (end) jk.mt KUNA 291641 Jul 13NNNN
