Kemal Kilicdaroglu, senior leader of the PRP, asserted that the interim government of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu showed clear security faults, which allowed the suicide attacks on the 10th in front of a train station in this city.
The transitional executive, set up to organize early elections next November 1, confessed that he did not apply any security measure before the blasts, with preliminary results of 102 dead and 500 wounded.
The only reason for not to stop people under surveillance is the lack of an express instruction of the authorities to do the bests, stated Kilicdaroglu, quoted by the online version of the Hurriyet Daily News.
The opposition leader was referring to media reports about the delivery by the Turkish intelligence to the police of a list of 16 people suspected of preparing violent attacks, three days before the bombings during the peace march.
The demonstration was organized by trade unions, leftist groups and the pro-Kurdish Democratic People's Party to demand an end to the conflict between the army and militia of the illegal Kurdistan Workers' Party (KWP).
The KWP fights since 1984 for the independence of 15 million Kurds and in 2013 began peace talks with the government, suspended on July 24, after the re-launching of military operations against that group by the Turkish authorities.
Police arrested the president of the Lawyers College of the South Eastern region of Diyarbakir, Tahir Elci, accused of terrorist propaganda, after denying in a televised debate that the KWP was a terrorist organization.
Elci also highlighted the great popular support of the group, which lost more than its two thousand members in the new army offensive, which also produced more than a hundred casualties.
