Zarif: Peace cannot be achieved with ugly provocations

He made the remarks while condemning today's terrorist attack in Nice, France.

"We strongly condemn today's terrorist attack in #Nice. This escalating vicious cycle--hate speech, provocations & violence--must be replaced by reason & sanity. We should recognize that radicalism only breeds more radicalism, and peace cannot be achieved with ugly provocations," Zarif tweeted late on Thursday.
