ANKARA
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland visited on Tuesday the site of the Ankara blasts that killed 102 people on Oct. 10.
Accompanied by the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey John Bass, Nuland stood in silent homage to the victims of the twin suicide bombings that hit the Turkish capital and placed carnations in tribute to them.
Nuland arrived in Turkey Monday to discuss the fight against Daesh and the Syrian refugee crisis with Turkish government officials.
The suicide bombings in the heart of Ankara claimed 102 lives and injured hundreds at a peace rally, shaking Turkey as the country faces a general election re-run on Nov. 1, while counter-terrorism operations continue in the southeast.
