Davutoğlu: We reached a Name Linked to an Illegal Organization

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu summarily stated about bomb attack in Ankara:

“It was a part of overshadowing the general elections (November 1) in Turkey. Investigations are going on. We will discuss the additional measures to be taken in a different situation.

“Surely it was the doing of suicide bombers”

 “Surely it was the doing of suicide bombers. We determined how two suicide bombers went to the Sıhhıye Square (venue) and how they had carried the bombs. We approximated a name. That name indicates an illegal organization.

“There are no unidentified murders like in the 1990s… Critical information has been acquired for 48 hours, but it is not true to give a clue.

“We have some common information; DAESH (ISIS) has been forming teams named ‘Immortals’ and also Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has been making preparations.

Turkey is a jeopardous area of activity

“Turkey has been running election campaigns; we hold election rallies across the country. Turkey is a jeopardous area of these kinds of activities.

“Holding public demonstration as massive crowds in Ankara, İstanbul or other metropolitan cities should be prevented.

Police operations

“Between July 20 and July 23, we launched police operations against DAESH [Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)], Revolutionary People's Liberation Party–Front (DHKP/C) and PKK. 768 suspects were detained.

“There is a list of suicide bombers; we follow them but when we are close catching them, the efforts are protested.” (AS/BD)
