"We condemn the assault on Mr. Yunus Paksoy, the US Representative of CNN Türk TV channel, while reporting live about the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO).

We are taking the necessary steps before the US authorities to ensure that the perpetrators and instigators of this attack are brought to justice," reads the statement.
