The
President spoke by phone today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan to express his condolences on behalf of the American people and
to reaffirm the solidarity of the United States
with Turkey following the terrorist attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk
International Airport yesterday.
The President noted this attack, like
the March attack at Brussels Airport, was an attack on the international
community.
President Obama offered any and all
assistance to support Turkish authorities in their investigation and
pledged to continue working with Turkey and all of our partners and
allies to fight terrorism.
The
President also commended President Erdogan and his government for their
leadership this week in reaching a deal to normalize relations with
Israel and in taking steps to ease tensions
with Russia.
