Turks commemorate victims of radical Islamic attack
On Monday, friends and family members placed carnations at the site of the attack, the private Dogan news agency reported.More than 30 Islamic extremists convicted in the attack are serving life in prison. Several others were also imprisoned for their roles.
Islamic extremists chanting anti-secularist slogans had blocked firefighters from entering the blazing hotel.
Turkey is an overwhelmingly Muslim country but a staunchly secular state.
