It will be interesting to see who was behind this, ISIS, the Kurds or domestic commies. The prime minister has already said that only 4 groups have the means and motive - the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), along with two “leftist” organizations, namely, the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) and the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP).

Nobody can deny the good things Erdogan has done for the Turkish economy. Otherwise, he's a political disaster for the country. It's a damn shame as Turkey is a wonderful country.

Terrible! This is Daesh or perhaps the Grey Wolves, not the PKK. PKK is largely a secular Marxist organization. Suicide bombings aren't their style. Plus, they have no history of targeting civilians.

I'm thinking ISIS too. At the moment, the PKK is allied (against Erdogan) with the type of young liberals targeted by the bombing.

Turkey unwillingness to take on ISIS has come back to haunt it: says one Behlul Ozkan.
