Ankara, February 18 (RHC)-- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed revenge against those responsible for the Ankara deadly blast that claimed the lives of at least 28 people.  In a statement issued after the blast on Wednesday, Erdogan said: "Our determination to respond in kind to attacks taking place inside and outside our borders is getting stronger with such acts."

"We will continue our fight against the pawns that carry out such attacks, which know no moral or humanitarian bounds, and the forces behind them with more determination every day," he added.
