ISTANBUL (AA) - May 11, 2013 - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said that Turkish security forces were conducting an investigation into the blasts in Reyhanli town which took place earlier in the day.
Speaking to reporters in Istanbul, Erdogan underlined "I want my brothers in Reyhanli to understand that the process we are going through is a sensitive one. Those who can not accept the solution process in Turkey may get involved in incidents as today's in Reyhanli."
"According to latest reports, 20 people were killed while around 46 were wounded in the Reyhanli blasts. The number of casualties may rise," Erdogan said.
"Hatay is a province by the Syrian border and carries sensitivity. Around 20-25 thousand Syrians live here in camps as our guests. Certain steps as in Reyhanli today may be taken to affect the sensitivity in Hatay by those not willing to accept the status quo," Erdogan also said.
