Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has sent a letter of condolence to the prime minister of Turkey, Binali Yildirim, to convey his sympathies to the families of the victims of the Istanbul terrorist attack, and wished a speedy recovery to those who were injured.
“In Hungary, we greatly appreciate the fact that Turkey and the Turkish people are playing an active role in the fight against international terrorism. This inhuman attack reinforces my government’s commitment to act against terrorism and to support Turkey’s efforts," PM Orbán wrote in the letter.
ISIS took responsibility for the deadly New Year's shooting that left 39 members of the public and staff dead at an exclusive Istanbul nightclub. The suspect is still at large.
