This terrorist attack came when the political life in Turkey was dealing with one of the the most critical turmoils in the history of Republic. First, as you know, the ruling party is being prosecuted for becoming the "center of the anti-secular movements" in the country. And second, simultaneously with this case, public prosecutors have been investigating the most dangerous "covert organization" in Turkish history, code named "Ergenekon"; an ultra-nationalist group, founded by retired army generals, some NGO administrators, journalists and academicians who have been planning a coup against the government. Tension is very high here as you can guess. All media and public attention has been focused on this two prosecutions for months and then, suddenly this bloody bomb attack came, allegedly by the PKK (still no evidence.) Very intriguing... and thrilling. Turkey has been walking on a very critical path and the political polarization in the country began giving signals of a dangerous chaos.
