"We commemorate with respect and gratitude the five citizens who lost their lives in the racist attack in Solingen 32 years ago," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The statement added, "Despite losing family members in the attack, we respectfully and gratefully commemorate Mevlüt Genç, who demonstrated exemplary leadership through her calls for moderation and passed away in 2022."
The Turkish Foreign Ministry affirmed that the country will resolutely continue its struggle against rising racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia in all forums and platforms.
Thirty years ago, on May 29, 1993, a German far-right group set fire to the home of a Turkish family in the town of Solingen in western Germany, killing five Turks.
The Solingen massacre occurred when four right-wing extremists set fire to the home of the Turkish Genç family on May 29, 1993, resulting in the deaths of five Turks, including four children. The crime was described as the worst attack targeting foreigners in modern German history.
