"Those countries that face terror, they have developed great awareness. If there are unusual movement of vehicles and bags, they call on security and based on this, a lot of incidences are contained. So we believe that if people will become observant and all of us become security conscious by the movement of people, we will be able to reduce some of these incidences."
