Fatal bombings in Turkish capital may be false flag, analyst says
Press TV has interviewed Mike Harris, an editor at Veterans Today from Phoenix, and Richard Millet, a journalist and political commentator from London, to talk about recent incidents in Turkey.
Twin bomb blasts outside the main train station in the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Saturday killed over 90 people.
Harris told Press TV that the incident may be a “false flag” attack orchestrated by the Turkish government in order to take attention off of Ankara’s participation in providing material support to the Daesh Takfiri terrorists and other militant groups in the region.
It seems that Turkey might seek to pave the way for its further involvement in the conflict in Syria, he said, adding that Turkish officials may blame the Syrian government for the deadly bombings in Ankara to prompt NATO to carry out strikes in Syria.
Commenting on the transportation of military equipment from Turkey to Daesh in Syria, the commentator argued that the Turkish government is “guilty of interfering in Syria’s internal affairs,” because “there is no ifs, there is no ands, there is no buts” about the Turks’ relationship with Daesh.
Turkish authorities are trying to reestablish themselves as the “old Ottoman empire” in the Middle East, the analyst said. Therefore, he added, the Turks are resorting to any plot to increase their influence and they seem to be the “major troublemaker” in the region.
Millet, for his part, believes that no party has taken responsibility for the Saturday bombings in Ankara, but he is of the idea that attackers, influenced by Daesh, might have blown themselves up.
