The Turkish president extended support to the country following the Quetta hospital attack, saying his country stood with Pakistan in the struggle against terrorism.
The attack, which took place on the premises of the Civil Hospital on August 8, killed 75 people, most of them lawyers who had gathered at the facility after the targeted killing of the Balochistan Bar Association’s president.
The parliamentary delegation included lawmakers from eight political parties, who expressed complete solidarity and support to Turkey's defence of democracy.
