Explosion in Istanbul 13 Nov 2022

Nobody thinks this may have roots in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?
 
Nobody thinks this may have roots in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?
Remotely possible, but most likely VVP pissed with Erdogan, gets some support from Iran, does the deed and tries to pin it on the Ukrainians (or Greece) while Turkey, knowing all the above, blames the PKK and YPG…
 
But the Turks will blame the Kurds, regardless of the source.

@Weinie for the win.

Istanbul: Six dead, dozens wounded in Turkey explosion​

The blast happened at about 16:20 local time (13:20 GMT) on Sunday in a shopping street in the Taksim Square area. Turkey has blamed Kurdish rebels.
A suspect - a Syrian woman - has been arrested, the interior minister said.
. . .
On Monday morning, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said a Syrian national - Ahlam Albashir - suspected of having left the bomb had been arrested by police. She was among 47 people detained by police. He accused the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) of responsibility.
The PKK denied any role in the bombing
, saying "we will not directly target civilians". The militant group has been battling for decades to achieve Kurdish self-rule in south-east Turkey. Turkey, the EU and US regard it as a terrorist organisation.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for the blast.

…waiting for the YPG to get rolled into the blame game along side the PKK already there… 😉
