Pro-Kurdish party condemns Turkey suicide bombing
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA pro-Kurdish political party condemns the attack on a Kurdish wedding party in southeastern Turkey that killed at least 50 people and wounded dozens of others.
The People’s Democratic Party, or HDP, blames Islamic State for the attack in Gaziantep after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also said the extremist group was behind the bombing.
The HDP says “we condemn and curse the ones who launched this attack, both the forces and ideology behind their actions.”
The party also suggests that IS carried out the attack hours after another Kurdish political party announced plans to negotiate to try to end a three-decade conflict between Kurdish militants and the Turkish government.
