Iran condemns deadly bomb blasts in Ankara

TEHRAN, Oct. 11 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham has condemned the two deadly bomb blasts that hit a rally in the Turkish capital, Ankara.

Afkham on Saturday extended condolences to the Turkish government and nation over the tragic attack that left many innocent people dead and injured.

Condemning the terrorist act, she offered Tehran’s sympathy to the Turkish government and families of the victims.

On Saturday, twin explosions targeted activists who had convened outside Ankara's main train station for a peace rally organized by leftist and pro-Kurdish groups.

Ankara has said 86 people were killed and 186 wounded in the attacks. However, HDP says the death toll is at least 97. 

The Turkish government has declared three days of national mourning over the blasts in the capital.
