A Turkish group representing 14 NGOs visited the site of last week’s deadly terrorist attack in the capital Ankara Monday to lay floral tributes to the 28 victims.
“There are no words left to speak. We condemn terror,” said the president of the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TURK-IS) Ergun Atalay, speaking on behalf of the group of organizations, which included workers’ and civil servant unions, as well as business associations.
Following the short speech, representatives of the NGOs said prayers for the victims, and laid carnations at the blast site.
Last Wednesday’s attack on buses carrying military personnel in the heart of the Turkish capital also injured dozens.
The Turkish government said the attack was carried out by Syrian national Salih Necar, a member of the Kurdish YPG group fighting in Syria and affiliated to the PKK. Both groups are considered terrorist organizations by Turkey.
