| Turkey’s pro-Kurdish party has issued a statement condemning the attack in central Ankara, which has killed at least 27 people and wounded 75 others. | |
| The Peoples’ Democratic Party, HDP, said Sunday it shares “the huge pain felt along with our citizens.” | |
| No one has claimed the attack, although Kurdish militants and the Islamic State group have carried out bombings in the city recently. | |
| The statement was significant because the party is frequently accused of being the armed wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK — an accusation it denies. It has also been accused of not speaking out against PKK violence. | |
