I started writing my column by closely monitoring the news that appeared on my screen about a bomb-laden vehicle being blasted in the area between the Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) provincial headquarters in southeastern Van province and the governorate, breaking many building windows with the impact of the explosion and several ambulances being directed to the area.

There is so much to say that it makes it difficult to speak. There is nothing beyond our belief in the existence of the All-Merciful and the greatness of His mercy. Taking refuge in the All-Merciful God's mercy, I pray for the deceased and the Şahin family.
