ANKARA

The wave of terror attacks in Turkey are not separate from what is happening in Syria and Iraq, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Dec.17. 

In remarks made in a statement following a car bomb attack in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri that left at least 14 soldiers killed and 56 others wounded, Erdoğan offered his condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers and wished the injured a speedy recovery. 

He attributed the recent terror attacks to the regional situation and hinted at its connection with recent economic fluctuations. 

“The terror attacks in Turkey are not separate from what is happening in the region, especially Syria and Iraq,” he said. 

“We will fight decisively against these terror organizations in the spirit of a national mobilization,” he said.

“Terror attacks target all 79 million citizens together with soldiers and police. Turkey is under the threat of attacks by terrorist groups; the separatist terrorist organization is especially trying to do its best to block Turkey’s progress,” Erdoğan added.
