Turkey seeks clarifications over bomb case

Turkey seeks clarifications over bomb case

Turkey is seeking clarifications from Thailand over reports alleging Turkish link in the recent Bangkok bombings.

The move came one day after some recent news reports said several Turkish nationals were wanted in connection with the two blasts in the Thai capital. One of explosions rocked the Erawan Shrine on August 17, causing 20 deaths and injuring more than 100 victims including foreigners. 
“Up to now this Embassy has not received any official notification from the Thai authorities concerning the arrest warrants,” the Turkish embassy in Bangkok said via its statement Thursday. 
According to the statement, the embassy has requested clarification by sending a verbal note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand on whether the suspect arrested on August 29 is a Turkish citizen and about the Turkish passports televised in the news.
