"We regret the loss of lives and extend our condolences to the families of the victims as well as to those injured. We call  for an end to the use of violence and for continued restraint and responsibility to be shown by the police and security forces to prevent further casualties.

"Societal tensions can only be addressed through democratic processes. We underline the need for a swift return to Turkey's constitutional order with its checks and balances and stress the importance for the rule of law and fundamental freedoms to prevail. The EU stands in solidarity with Turkey and the Turkish people."
