In addition, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said security units are analyzing the vehicle and the assailants in it.

Separately, ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party spokesman Ömer Çelik speaking in southern province of Adana said: "The incident is evidently a provocation."
He also assured the safety of all foreign missions in Turkey and said: "No one should ever doubt that foreign missions, ambassadors serving in Turkey are secured by our government."
