If there has been some suicide bomber involved in the blast then there might be some drawback in the cause of the Turkmens. The suicide bombers often make make the sacrifice convinced by the religious motives that they are dying for the right cause or one becomes so fed up of the killing his people or compelled by the encircled situation that makes such an attempt.
Need make a review on the cause of the Turkmens and make sure that there be not included only racial interests and make the massess to come to the righteous conclusion.
