"We count those who died for the sake of this country and its dignity as martyrs. We confirm that this terrorist bombing will not stop our armed forces from their duty to find the culprits and cut every hand that threatens the security of this nation and its civilians. Glory and eternity for the righteous martyrs," he said.
