Tehran, July 20, IRNA – Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Southern Turkey which resulted in death and injury of several Turkish citizens on Monday.


'This criminal terrorist attack once again showed that the perpetrators of such acts are not committed to any principle and for achieving their inhuman objectives will do anything,' Afkham said.

At least 30 people have been killed after a massive 'terrorist' explosion rocked the Turkish town of Suruc, near the southern border with Syria.

The blast occurred at the garden of Amara Culture Center of Suruç Municipality on Monday. Suruc lies opposite the Syrian flashpoint town of Kobani.

An unnamed official in the prime minister's office said nearly 100 people were also injured in the attack.

'It is a suicide attack,' the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
