He further ensured the general public that the government criticized the entire incident. He added that the responsible terrorist organizations and the attacker would not be spared, and the nation would get justice as soon as possible. He said that the nation’s people are its true strength, and we will stand tall in the end together against terrorism.

Imamoglu uploaded some of the photographs from his visit on his official account, through which he expressed his best wishes and compassion to the people. He also paid tribute to the dead and wounded during his visit.

Meanwhile, he condemned the terror and exchanged words with the harmed families and people during his visit. It has also been considered that suitable compensation would be provided to the families of the dead and injured by the Istanbul government.

The bombardment occurred when the shopping streets of Istanbul were at peace like every other day. A woman sat on the bench for nearly 40-45 minutes and left a bag there just before the explosion. The entire city was on alert instantly after the explosion, which caused lifelong mourning to many unfortunate families in the nation.

Mayor Imamoglu sends a message to the public that the nation will fight against terror with full force and conviction. According to the sources, the government of Istanbul is investigating the strike and ensuring that the situation remains under control. The officials are guaranteeing the nation’s peace remains as before, providing its residents with a safe and secure environment.

It has been considered that the explosion occurred due to the agenda of a terrorist organization trying to separate the ”Kurdistan region” from Turkey. The planned strike was an act of disturbance and spread chaos in the nation. The residents are facing difficult times as they faced a dark day in their history.

According to the Istanbul media, the people say that the incident and its repercussions will stay with them for their entire lives. The scars are not just on their mind but also on their souls and heart, which will keep reminding them of the horrific experience related to it in the future of their remaining lives.

Mayor Imamoglu promised the residents safety and support from the government and wished them luck.
