Ankara, Sept 17: Asserting that terrorism was unquestionably the highest priority on the international agenda, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today said that India and Turkey do not accept the "dangerous logic of root causes" as excuses for inaction against the menace.
"Both Turkey and India have been victims of terrorism well before 9/11 (terror strike against the US). We have common perspectives on this issue. We agree that there can be
no double standards in identifying or fighting terrorism. We do not accept the dangerous logic of root causes as excuses for inaction against terrorism," he said.
Delivering his key note address to the Centre for
Strategic Research here, the Prime Minister said that today
the world faced the "real and frightening danger" of weapons
of mass destruction falling into hands of terrorists.
