Political Analyst: Ankara Explosions Masterminded by Turkish Intelligence

“Erdogan is the only one who benefits from the recent explosions in Ankara; the Kurdish groups and organization not only do not benefit from such explosion as they are fully aware that political solution is the only way to achieve their rights,” Syrian political analyst Michel Kalaqasi wrote in the Arabic-language al-Manar newspaper.

Kalaqasi’s remarks came while the Turkish authorities blamed Kurdish organizations for Wednesday’s blast in Ankara that killed 28 and left 61 people wounded.

He reiterated that the Turkish intelligence agency has orchestrated the recent terrorist attacks in Ankara.

In relevant remarks on Friday, Chairman of the International Union of Kurdish Public Associations Merab Shamoyev underlined that the Syrian Kurds have nothing to gain from carrying out terrorist attacks on civilians in Turkey.

“Syrian Kurds immediately denied these allegations. Why would Syrian Kurds do this? The Kurds currently have a good reputation,” Shamoyev said during a press conference in Moscow.

The politician added that the terror attack could have been a provocation carried out by Turkey’s Justice and Development Party to justify Ankara’s shelling of Syrian Kurds and to start a ground operation in Syria.
