MINSK, June 29 (Xinhua) -- The Belarusian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday strongly and categorically condemned a terrorist attack at the airport in Istanbul.

The terrorist attack in Turkey and the attacks that had taken place in Europe demonstrated once again the strong threat posed by terrorism, which recognizes no borders and norms of civilization, the ministry said in a statement.

It stressed that the threat must not be overlooked by the international community.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, on behalf of the people of Belarus and himself, personally extended sincere condolences to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the relatives and loved ones of the people killed in the terrorist attack.

Lukashenko said the news of the big number of civilian casualties in the attack has deeply saddened every person in Belarus.

"The presence of women and children among them emphasizes the inhumane essence of the masterminds and perpetrators of terrorist attacks," he said.

Three suicide bombers opened fire and then blew themselves up at the international terminal of Istanbul's Ataturk airport Tuesday, killing at least 41 people and injuring more than 140 others.

The Belarusian Consulate in Istanbul on Wednesday morning reported that according to preliminary data, there were no Belarusians among the victims of the incident.

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry has recommended Belarusian tourists to refrain from visiting crowded places in Turkey.

Turkey declared a day of national mourning on Wednesday over the deadly Istanbul airport attack. Enditem
