The rector stated the following in his message: “We have been informed with great sadness that 6 of our citizens lost their lives and 81 of our citizens were injured in the bomb attack that took place in Istanbul Beyoğlu Istiklal Street at around 16.20 yesterday. The fact that two of our 6 citizens who lost their lives come from Gümüşhane has doubled our sadness. I wish God's mercy on the citizens who lost their lives as a result of the heinous attack and a quick recovery to the wounded.
