Victory over terrorism in the Middle East is impossible without cooperation with Russia, Head of the Turkish delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC) Ramazan Can told reporters on the sidelines of the 47th PABSEC General Assembly June 29, RIA Novosti reported.
Can also said that the words "Islam" and "terrorism" should not be put together.
“Personally, I am against of linking Islam with terrorism, Islam is a religion of mercy: if one kills a person, he or she commits a gross violation and there is no place for terrorism in Islam,” he noted. “Turkey is against that Islam be associated with terrorism.”
