Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday said that "certain problems, including terror, were steps taken to prevent Turkey's growth and Turkey's progress."
Speaking in a ceremony held to put into service 486 ambulances in Istanbul, Erdogan said that "since the very beginning, we had been talking about the need to fight against terror together (with the US) in all corners of the world."
"Our security forces are conducting an investigation after today's blast at the US Embassy in Ankara. We will share the developments with the public once healthy information is received," Erdogan also said.
Two people, including the suicide bomber, were killed in Friday's blast at the US Embassy while one woman was seriously wounded.
