August 25, 2016– We were saddened by the news of an attack on Mr. Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP) that resulted in the death of a soldier and the wounding of two others.
As the leader of a political party with strong historical roots, Mr. Kilicdaroglu helped prevent further polarization of Turkish society by his judicious stances in difficult times. We condemn the attack against him in the strongest terms and wish him well
