Prime Minister Imran Khan on behalf of the government and people of Pakistan has expressed solidarity with Turkey on its ‘Democracy and National Unity Day’ being observed on Wednesday, to honour the martyrs of 2016.

In his message addressed to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in this regard, he said Pakistan continues to stand by Turkey and supports its efforts to address the threat posed by Fethullah Gulen Terrorist Organization (FETO).

He said four years ago on this day, the Turkish people displayed their characteristic resilience and legendary bravery to defy the forces of darkness targeting Turkey’s peace and stability as well as its democratic institutions.

Imran Khan recalled that the entire Pakistani nation spoke with one voice against the attempt to undermine Turkey’s peace, democracy and march towards prosperity.
