Who stands behind terrorist attack at Ataturk Airport?

The terror attack on Turkey's Ataturk airport had a shock effect making many to believe that there is not a fortuity that the bloody attacks coincided with the normalization of the country's relations with Russia and Israel.

Although ISIS claims responsibility for the event, according to the preliminary information, some say not only Daesh is involved.

Some analysts assure that definite external forces are interested in disbanding Turkey.

The terror attack is said to have a certain message, while the world’s major intelligence services and financial or political institutions may stand behind the attack as well, they believe.

Terrorist attacks have become frequent in both eastern and western parts of the country, which is host to over 3 million refugees, mainly from war-torn Syria. They prove that there are social, political and economic reasons causing this.

On the other hand, planning a terrorist attack takes months, sometimes years. Thus, there are also supporters of the idea that the happened incident is only a coincident.

Arzu Nagiyev, expert on security and geopolitical issues told milli.az that ISIS is not the only one to be blamed for the incident. He believes the way the terrorist attack was planned – firing guns and explosion – is not the style of religious radical groups who prefer suicide bombing. Thus, there can be a hand of other states’ special service agencies or terrorist groups in what happened, he added.

Even some among the representative of the political parties in the Turkish parliament bolster the terrorist groups, the expert underlined.

Then, a question arises why ISIS claimed the responsibility for the attack, if it did not commit it.

Nagiyev went on saying that ISIS is weak now, and it is just a way to prove it still exists. Additionally, it is also beneficial for special service agencies that someone is taking on the responsibility.

Some even claim that the recent terrorist attack is devoted to the second anniversary of the ISIS declaring Islamic State Caliphate.

Also, Turkey’s improving relations with ISIS foes - Russia and Israel bothers the terrorist group as joint combat may be implemented against it.

As a result of the terrorist attack occurred at Turkey’s Ataturk Airport on June 28, lives of 36 people were claimed and 147 were wounded.

As a country encountering terrorist attacks on the regular basis, Turkey needs to apply better preventive measures and enhance its security system.
