Mr. Winter apologizes for the tweet he wrote regarding the PKK terror attack being “successful”. The wording may have been misleading. In no way did Mr. Winter mean to praise a horrendous terror attack targeting police doing their job protecting civilians at a football match. He deeply regrets having used a wording which may have added to the dismay at this sensitive time. 

In another private tweet from the same day, Mr. Winter’s condemnation of the terrorist attack becomes clear:

“From PKK's perspective the bomb in Besiktas was successful. I CONDEMN IT. I am a Besiktas fan.”
