Iran Raps Terrorist Attack in Turkey
Hossein Jaberi Ansari also expressed condolences to the families of the victims and the government and nation of Turkey.
"This terrorist operation once again highlighted the need for regional and world countries’ integrated fight against terrorism and extremism and the necessity for immediate resolution of the current regional crises based on a political means,” he stated.
On Tuesday, a large blast in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet square, which is a major tourist attraction in the city, left at least 10 people dead and 15 others injured.
The ISIL Takfiri terrorist group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.
Turkey has been on high security alert since more than 100 people were killed in twin blasts in Ankara last October. The attack was blamed on Daesh terrorists.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said yesterday that the bomber was of Syrian origin.
Ankara has been among the supporters of ISIL and other militant groups operating in Syria, which has been grappling with a foreign-backed crisis since March 2011.
