Similar to Turkey, Sri Lanka suffered from terrorism for decades, and after successfully eradicating terrorism, the country has built a new Sri Lanka. Ambassador to Ankara Pakeer Mohideen Amza discussed with Daily Sabah what Turkey could learn from Sri Lanka's fight against terrorism. Amza said that the three pillars on which the new Sri Lanka is being built are democracy, development and reconciliation. Underlining that there is no good terrorism, Ambassador Amza expressed his confidence that Turkey will soon eliminate terrorism from its soil. Reiterating Sri Lanka's solidarity with the government of Turkey after the Gülenist coup attempt on July 15, Ambassador Amza added that Sri Lankan-Turkish relations will flourish simultaneously with cooperation in sectors such as construction and trade.
