Turkey rejected a message of condolences to it from the United States in the victims of the bombing that took place in the Taksim area in Istanbul.
Government media quoted Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Sweilo, saying: “We do not accept and reject condolences from the American embassy.

“PKK” is an abbreviation of the Kurdistan Workers Party, which Turkey classifies as a terrorist, and violent confrontations between the two sides take place on the Turkish and Syrian borders, including the northern Syrian regions.
