Kobanî

The governorate of Turkey?s southeastern province of ?anl?urfa, where a bomb attack killed at least 32 people and wounded more than 100 others, has announced a ban on rallies, marches and similar gatherings in order to prevent future potential incidents.

A female suicide bomber who crossed into Turkey last month allegedly conducted the deadly Suruç attack in southeastern Turkey on July 20, daily Habertürk has reported.

A bomb that killed at least 30 and wounded 100 in Suruç, a Turkish town by the Syrian border right across the Kurdish-held Syrian town of Kobane, went off July 20. But the journey of those killed had started a day before.  

Initial findings suggest that Islamic State (IS) group is behind Monday's blast in the southeastern Turkish town of Suruc that killed at least 30 people,  Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said.

"This is a terrorist attack by a suicide bomber. The target of this attack is Turkey," todayszaman.com quoted Davutoglu as saying at a news conference on Monday.

A blast in Turkey's district of Suruc near the border with Syria killed at least  27 people on Monday, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

At least another 100 people were sent to hospitals in the area, AA quoted police officials as saying.

The death toll is expected to rise, according to police.

A Syrian Kurdish militia said on July 1 it had recovered full control of the border town of Tel Abyad after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters raided its outskirts the day before in preparation for a larger assault. 

Just like their ancestors forced from their homes in Eastern Anatolia in 1915-16, the last Armenian families living in the embattled northern Syrian town of Kobane have fled after the repeated jihadist attacks - and they do not intend to go back. 

Turkey wants to construct more walls along its border with Syria to strengthen security against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants and crack down on illegal border crossings, senior officials told Reuters on June 27.
   
Turkey shares a more than 900 km (560 mile) border with Syria, and much recent fighting has taken place on its doorstep.

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an vowed to prevent the establishment of a Kurdish state in northern Syria, while Iran warned Turkey over military intervention into its neighbor.

"I am addressing the whole world: We will never allow a state to be formed in northern Syria, south of our border," Erdo?an said at a Ramadan event organized by Turkish Red Crescent in Istanbul  late June 26.

Syrian Kurdish forces expelled Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters from Syria's Kobane on June 27 and took back full control of the town on the Turkish border, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
