The Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, said that the blasts were caused by suicide bombers likely targeting a peace rally in Ankara outside the nation’s main train station.
Early estimates say that at least 14,000 people were in the area at the time of the blasts. This attack has come only a few weeks before national elections scheduled for November 1st.
Turkish authorities have also said that the bomb blasts occurred about 50 yards from each other.
No group has yet taken responsibility for the attack but analysts point to terrorists associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the PKK, a militant Kurdish nationalist group as the likely perpetrators.
