Three members of the cabinet, namely Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş, Interior Minister Sebahattin Öztürk and Labor Minister Faruk Çelik are heading to Suruç to coordinate investigation efforts.

The Ministry of Interior released a written statement roughly an hour after the attack and confirmed the death toll, while promising to find the perpetrators as soon as possible.


The explosion targeted dozens of people from a pro-Kurdish group, Socialist Youth Associations Federation (SGDF), who gathered at the culture center before their journey to Syria's Kurdish town of Kobani, according to various sources.

The youth participating in the SGDF campaign were going to help restructure Kobani. The group had previously released a press statement on Sunday before starting their journey in Istanbul. The group was later joined by another group from Ankara.

The group aimed to continue their activities in Kobani until July 26, which included building a playground, planting a memorial forest and giving health services to local people.
