We condemn any manifestation of terrorism and extremism, and at this difficult moment of sorrow, we share the pain of our colleagues and the families of all the victims, expressing our support to the colleagues working for Charlie Hebdo Weekly. We express our solidarity to the people of France and wish a speedy recovery to all the injured at the hands of extremists", a release to AGERPRES informs on Thursday.
