The new attacks occurred hours before Blair's arrival on a six-hour working visit to Ankara for talks with Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Ahmet Necdet Sezer.
Novi napadi dogodili su se samo nekoliko sati pre Blerovog dolaska u sestočasovnu radnu posetu Ankari, tokom koje će se sastati sa turskim kolegom Redžepom Tajipom Erdoganom i predsednikom Ahmetom Nedžetom Sezerom.
