ANKARA - "We have to focus on those who are behind this terrorist organization. We have to look at those who feed terrorist organizations. I will not say another word," said Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar Buyukanit on Tuesday while commenting on the explosion occurred in Ankara, killing 6 and injuring over 80.
Following his visit to injured people in Ankara`s Hacettepe Hospital, Buyukanit told reporters that the incident shook him, noting that he thought it was not a common crime when he saw the scene of explosion.
"It was a blast caused by an organized terrorist organization," he said.
Asked about the goal of the terrorist organization, Buyukanit said "you may expect it in all metropolises. I am not saying that it will occur, but they may attempt these kind of things."
Meanwhile, main opposition Republican People`s Party (CHP) Chairman Deniz Baykal said, "it is a sad and vicious incident. We should act in solidarity as the nation."
After receiving information from authorities in the scene of the blast, Baykal told reporters that experts have not been able to clarify whether the blast was caused by an explosive or a suicide bomber.
"They are carrying on their investigations," he said.
Indicating that Turkey can not be intimidated by such methods, Baykal said "we have to state a resolute, clear and strong attitude against terrorism. We have to show clearly that terrorism can not engender any political consequences."
