Two explosions that rocked a peace rally in the Turkish capital, Ankara, have left over 95 people dead and 245 injured. According to news from T.V, the blast took place near the city's central train station amidst a march protest by leftist groups.
Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglo, in response has announced three days of national mourning. Says evidence prove that two suicide bombers had carried out the attacks which is the deadliest of its kind in Turkey.
The peace protest was actually demanding an end to the violence between the Kurdish PKK militants and the Turkish government. The blast which happened 10:00 Turkish time, was coming three weeks before a re-run of June's inconclusive parliamentary elections scheduled to hold in November.
The pro-Kurdish HDP leader Selahettin Dermitas has blamed the government for the attack and called them "murderers".
An eyewitness, Bulent Tekdemir, who was at the scene of the blast told journalists: "As soon as the bomb went off, police would not let ambulance through and attacked people carrying the injured away."
Yet again, protesters have gathered in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey to condemn the recent attacks.
