ISTANBUL - Turkey's premier defined on Monday Turkey's problem as keeping national unity.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey's problem was to keep its national unity, not whether or not his Justice & Development (AK) Party would be closed.
"Our problem at the moment is to keep our unity so our country will go in a different direction," Erdogan told residents in in a bomb-hit neighborhood in Istanbul.
Two bombs exploded minutes apart in one of Istanbul's busiest districts, Gungoren, on Sunday night, killing 17 and injuring 115 others.
Erdogan said that Turkey should leave behind the era of discrimination.
"Then, there will be neither terrorists nor people backing them," Erdogan also said.
Erdogan said that efforts were under way to illuminate the bombings, and told residents that a statement would be made once everything was brought to daylight and assailants were captured.
The Turkish premier suggested every one to define the attack as only "act of terrorism", asked every one to refrain from talking about any terrorist organization because it would only be the propaganda of that network.
"Terrorism has no religion, nationality, race or homeland," Erdogan told the gathering.
Erdogan also said that terrorism was the biggest problem the humanity was facing today, and once more called for unity.
