Vatican City, 10 October 2015 (VIS) –
Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin sent a telegram on behalf
of the Holy Father to the president of the Republic of Turkey, Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, following the attack against peace demonstrators in
Ankara that caused around a hundred deaths and many injuries.
“His Holiness Pope Francis is deeply
saddened to learn of the loss of life and the injuries caused by the
explosions in Ankara this morning, and he expresses his heartfelt
solidarity with those affected by this tragedy. While His Holiness
deplores this barbaric act, he asks you to convey his spiritual
closeness to all the families affected during this time of grief, and
to the security and emergency personnel working to assist the
wounded. Commending the souls of all who have died to the loving
mercy of the Almighty, Pope Francis invokes divine strength and peace
upon their grieving relatives”.
