Declaration

of the Supreme Muslim Council of the Muslim Denomination in the Republic of Bulgaria, from regular session held on 9^th of September, 2015 in Sofia, regarding the acts of terrorism in neighboring Republic of Turkey

We, members of the Supreme Muslim Council, strongly condemn the acts of terrorism led to the loss of innocent lives in our southern neighbor Republic of Turkey.

We offer to the relatives of the deceased our deepest condolences and prayers to the Almighty Allah for strong patience. We categorically condemn every form of violence towards innocent citizens wherever in the world they are. We express our sympathy and compassion for the grief of the relatives of the victims and deep reproach to the perpetrators.

The increase in cases of assaults toward innocent human lives during the recent months in regions settled by Muslims deeply insults and compromises the peace and the future of humanity. Unacceptable and deeply reproachful are the acts of violence towards humanity, regardless of religious, ethnical and geographical differences. The infringement of the rights of innocent people, turning them into helpless targets of death is inconceivable.

We pray for the souls of the deceased and for the sooner recovery of the wounded, as well as for termination of the conflicts in neighboring Turkey and Near East through the most expeditious and responsible way.
