Awake Goy The TAK, which is a splinter group of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), vowed to continue its attacks.
The militant group claimed in the statement published on Friday that the Ankara blast was carried out to avenge the “defenseless and wounded civilians brutally massacred in basements in Cizre.”
“Everyone should know that those who ordered the massacre of civilians were responsible for the Ankara incident.”
It identified the perpetrator of the Ankara bombing as a 26-year-old Turkish national born in the eastern city of Van.
The militant group operates in Turkey and northern Iraq and is regarded as a terrorist organization by Ankara and the US. It has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks since 2004. The latest one was the December mortar attack at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport that killed one man and damaged five aircraft.
The TAK has said that it severed links with the PKK. The latter, in turn, has reportedly denied having any control over the TAK.
The group is seeking the creation of an independent Kurdish state that encompasses parts of southeast Turkey.
