In the message to the memorial service marking the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II, Erdoğan said: "We have to draw lessons from this heinous incident. As it is inscribed on the plaque in the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima should signify our determination not to repeat mistakes."
A memorial service was held at the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima commemorating those who lost their lives and got wounded as a result of the atom bomb dropped on the city in the morning of August 6, 1945.
Sending a video message to the service, Erdoğan described the dropping of atom bomb on the city as one of the darkest days of the history of humanity.
Offering condolences for the victims of Hiroshima, Erdoğan said: "I extend condolences to the friendly people of Japan. I extend condolences to the victims’ relatives, who have been struggling to alleviate the grief in their hearts for 75 years."
Erdoğan stated: "We have to draw lessons from this heinous incident. As it is inscribed on the plaque at the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima should signify our determination not the repeat mistakes."
Emphasizing the importance for the humanity to draw lessons from Hiroshima, Erdoğan referred to the inscription on the plaque at the Peace Memorial Park in the city, which reads ‘Never Again’.
"Children keep dying in Syria, Yemen and Palestine"
Remembering Sadako Sasaki, who was two years old at the time of the atomic bombing of the city and became a symbol of the children affected by the bombing after living ten more years despite her injuries, Erdoğan noted: "Despite all the tragedies, children keep dying and still endure the consequences of the war in Syria, Yemen and Palestine. Death finds them in refugee boats, at school desks, on streets, and even in their mothers’ arms where they feel safest. ‘Never Again!’ in order to prevent such a grief from being experienced again, for our children and future generations."
