The President named the attacks meaningless and violent.
“We all know that it was a terrorist attack of the followers of Salafism – non-traditional religious movement. While ensuring freedom of conscience in our country, we, however, are ready to push back all those who destroy the situation in the country under the guise of religion,” said the Head of State.
