News - Middle East: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reiterated that Turkey will continue its fight against terrorism, saying the terrorists who attempt to disrupt peace and security in the country will never succeed.

Erdogan made the remarks in his opening speech to the new legislative year of the Parliament on Sunday, after an explosion near Turkey's parliament in Ankara left two police officers injured earlier in the day.
"We have largely solved the separatist terrorism issue, which has made our country pay heavy human and economic costs for 40 years, within our borders," he said while stressing the need for solidarity in the fight against terrorism.
“We will not allow the terrorist group to direct politics or prevent the sacred march of our country,” he added.
Erdogan further reiterated that Turkey will continue to fight terrorism with determination until the last terrorist at home or abroad is eliminated.
He also hailed the timely intervention of the police during Sunday’s attack which he said was a "final flutters of terrorism," noting that the burden of instilling morale in terror groups with political calculations will be very heavy.
