Condolences to Sandy Hook Elementary School Parents and Newtown community members

We would like to express our deepest and heart-felt condolences to all the aggrieved families and loved ones.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic shooting incident at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. We cannot possibly imagine the shock and sorrow this unfortunate shooting incident has caused all families.

Regardless of where the fire falls, it burns our hearts. A true human being is the one from whose tongue and hand all others stay safe. To be safe in the future, we have to increase our efforts to brighten both hearts and minds of our sons and daughters with the love, respect and compassion for others, and do whatever is in our power to help prevent the reoccurrence of such tragedies.

Please know that, we, as Turkish community, deplore this tragic incident, and pray that it happens never again.
