Georgia offers condolences to Turkey following deadly bomb attack

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has offered his sympathies to the Government and people of Turkey following the alleged terrorist attack in the Turkish town of Suruc, which killed at least 30 people.

"The Georgian Government condemns all forms of terrorism,” Garibashvili said in a statement.

"We express our deepest sorrow over the death of dozens of victims of this terrorist attack. On behalf of the Georgian people, I offer my sincere condolences to the families of the victims. May you find strength and courage during this time of grief.”

The bomb attack in the border town of Suruc took place during a meeting of young activists to discuss the reconstruction of the neighbouring Syrian town of Kobane.

Around 100 others were wounded in the explosion, which could have been caused by a female suicide attacker from the Islamic State group, officials said.

Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said initial findings suggested the attack was the work of the Islamic State (IS).
