Turkey : HDP provides list of 120 killed in Ankara Massacre eight bodies still need identification

While the Office of the Prime Minister of Turkey has released a statement in which it declared that 95 people were killed and 246 wounded in yesterday’s bombing attacks in Ankara, HDP co-President Selahattin Demirta? challenged the official government account in a press conference and put the number of dead at at least 128 – reports an article in the Turkish daily Radikal.

While the statement released by the PM’s office provided the names of the 77 of those killed in the attacks, the HDP press office provided a list to the media with the names 120 people killed in the bombings, adding that 8 of the bodies had yet to be identified.


The HDP statement read in part:
