The area around Ankara Central railway station, where two blasts left at least 128 dead at a peace rally on Saturday, was opened to pedestrians, Monday morning. The flowers, clothes and notes reading "We will not forget and we will not forgive. Ankara 10.10.2015" were left at the site of explosions to commemorate the victims. At least 128 people were killed and more than 200 injured after two explosions rocked the Turkish capital. The bombs targeted the venue of the 'Labour, Peace, Democracy' rally, which was scheduled to begin at 10:00 local time (0700 GMT). The rally was planned by Turkey's biggest trade union in protest against the Turkish government's policy towards the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced on Saturday three days of national mourning, and said there was evidence that two suicide bombers had carried out the attacks. Selahattin Demirtas, the co-chair of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), said: "This is not an attack against unity of our state and nation. This is an attack by our nation against our people." The Turkish state have denied any role whatsover in the attack and vowed to bring to terrorists to justice.
