TIRANA, Oct. 11 – Albania has joined many the other countries expressing condolences and offering support to Turkey, following the deadly twin blasts that had hit a train station in Ankara, killing 95.

The entire international community condemned the terrorist attack.

Tirana issued a statement condemning the deadly attacks.

“We express our deep condolences and are close to the Turkish people and government in these difficult moments, wishing a fast recovery to the injured and a quick overcoming of this situation,” a foreign ministry statement said.

Last Saturday’s explosions rocked a train station in central Ankara where several unions, civic society organizations and the pro-Kurdish People’s Democracy Party were due to hold a peace rally protesting conflict between the state and Kurdish militants in southeast Turkey.

Hundreds of people gathered at the station when the blasts occurred, private Dogan news agency reported.

The Turkish government said it believes ISIS terrorists were behind the attack.
