Both countries will take large-scale measures to combat terrorism. Bombs are not enough. Economic, social and political key factors such as close cooperation with Iran, neutralization of links between terrorists, tracing of financial flows and economic envelopment of southeast Anatolia, should be also put into operation,” Ambassador Wilson said, Sabah reports.
