<p>Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham today issued the following statement:</p>
<p>"All Canadians join me in condemning these cowardly acts of terror. Turkey, like Canada, is a country where people of all
faiths are able to live together in peace and mutual respect. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the
victims and heartfelt sympathy to the Turkish people, and especially the Jewish community of Istanbul in this time of need.
Together we stand with them against anti-Semitism wherever it occurs."</p>
