“A woman sits on a bench for about 45 minutes and the blast occurs immediately after she rises”, the Turkish Justice Minister said, urging citizens not to rely on provocative and false news. A lot of provocative news is spreading. It is beneficial for citizens not to rely on nonexistence news designed to cheat. The Istanbul Attorney General has launched an investigation. The authors of this event are, of course, responsible. This is an attack against Turkey's credibility, peace and unity”, he said.
There are two versions. Either this bag has a device in it and explodes itself or someone explodes at a distance. All of this is currently being analysed”, the minister stressed.
This is a specially selected area. There are “alian” who may have wanted to send a message to the world. Turkey is a powerful state. Turkey is now a country that continues the fight against terrorism outside its borders. It is not possible to halt Turkey's” progress, he added, saying that “Finance, US and Germany support terrorists PKK/ YPG. They give them guns. Turkey Not Fighting Alone PKK, FETO and DAESH, but even against the places they've set against us. Otherwise, 3-5 terrorists are not a problem for us. We should not distinguish between the foreign terrorists and the local”.
