In a meeting with reporters, the Ambassador said every soundminded person must condemn such incidents when the humanitarian norms are violated.
“A very painful incident took place, and I condemn it. Reporters, doctors and people with other peaceful professions must not be under fire of the conflicting sides,” he said.
