Carl Bildt condemns terror bombings in Turkey and India

"I was appalled by the bombings in Turkey and India this weekend. This senseless killing of innocent people deserves to be condemned in the strongest terms. These deeds demonstrate once again that terrorism is a threat to our open societies."

"India and Turkey are open democracies, just like Spain, the United Kingdom and Sweden. I am certain that democracy in both India and Turkey will have the strength to overcome these challenges too."
