Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned an armed attack attempt during the White House Correspondents’ dinner held in Washington.

Axar.az reports that Erdogan made the statement on his official X account.

“I condemn the armed attack attempt that took place last night in Washington during the White House Correspondents’ dinner.

It is a relief for us that no one was injured, including US President Mr. Trump and his wife Melania.

In democracies, struggle is conducted through ideas, not violence. I convey my well wishes to President Trump, his wife, the US administration, and the American people,” he said.
