His Highness the Amir renewed Kuwait's principled stance against all forms of terrorism, and reaffirmed support to sisterly Turkey and the international community in the fight against terrorism.
He also expressed sympathy with the victims of the attack and their families and prayed for Allah the Almighty to lodge the martyrs in paradise and grant the wounded quick recovery.
