The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) on Monday denounced Saturday's terrorist bombing in the Turkish city of Kayseri, linking the attack to the international and regional interventions in the Middle East.

ISESCO said in a statement that this terrorist attack and other previous similar acts are closely related to sectarianism, fighting and killings prevailing in Iraq and Syria as well as to the international and regional interventions aiming to seriously compromise security and stability in the region.

ISESCO expressed its condolences to the families of the victims, while reiterating its full rejection of terrorism in all its forms.

A car bomb killed at least 13 soldiers when their convoy was hit in the central city of Kayseri.

This attack came after a series of bombings which hit Turkey in the past year, as the government blames Kurdish separatist militants for orchestrating them.
