Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on the terrorist attack in Paris

05-07-01-2015

We were shocked to learn about the terrorist attack in the centre of Paris, where extremists opened fire at the office of French weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which resulted in fatalities, including journalists and police officers.

We condemn this act of terrorism. The tragedy proves that it is necessary to continue active cooperation in combating the terrorist threat.

At this grievous time for France, we extend our heartfelt condolences and send thoughts of sympathy and support to the families and friends of those killed and wounded in the gun attack.
