However, State Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Hayati Yazici said after visiting the scene of the attacks, "we know it is a terrorist attack, but which organization is responsible, we don't yet have that information."
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan also called on people to unite against terrorism, stressing the importance of unity and integrity of citizens facing terrorist attacks.
Erdogan offered his condolences to the families of victims, saying, "there were 154 injured people after the explosions. Now, we have 50 wounded citizens at hospitals, the rest of them were discharged. Seven of our citizens are in serious condition."
Erdogan said terrorism was a phenomenon which did not have religion, nation or race, adding that Turkey had been combating terrorism for 30 to 35 years.
"If people continue supporting political groups backing terrorism, then terrorism will continue to become stronger, not weaker," said Erdogan.
"Our security forces and soldiers go on countering terrorism, and will continue to do so," Erdogan reaffirmed.
In a message posted on the General Staff's website, General Staff Chief Gen. Yasar Buyukanit said, "I strongly condemn the abhorrent attacks in Gungoren district targeting our innocent citizens. The attacks which were staged in a crowded street at a busy hour and without discriminating between men and women, young, old and children, showed once again the gory face, ruthlessness and despair of terrorism. I believe that those who carried out this inhuman bombing will be arrested and brought to justice to account for their acts."
"This incident will further consolidate our unity and solidarity in our fight against terrorism and strengthen our determination," he added.
