President Rouhani sent a message to France’s President Hollande and strongly condemned the terrorist attacks in Paris and stressed efforts by all to combat terrorism.
In this message which was sent early on Saturday, President Rouhani wrote:
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Your Excellency, Mr Francois Hollande,
President of France,
Terrorist attacks, which killed and wounded a lot of innocent people in Paris, caused great sorrow and grief.
I, on behalf of the great Iranian nation which has been a victim of scourge of terrorism, strongly condemn the anti-human crimes and condole the mourning French nation and government.
Without a doubt, the most important message following these kinds of incidents is more serious resolve and determination in all-out combat against terrorist groups.
Hassan Rouhani,
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
