Three-day mourning period has begun in the Turkish capital Ankara after the two blasts that rocked the peace rally leaving at least 95 people dead. The attack came three weeks before the country goes to the polls on November 1. Here are some other facts that you need to know about the horrific blasts.

What do these attacks mean for Turkey?

It appears to be the deadliest single terrorist attack on Turkish soil in recent history. Whoever is behind the attack in Ankara, the message is clear — to stoke polarization and violence in Turkey and destroy an already fragile political dialogue. The bombings also seemingly bear the hallmarks of ISIS, which had already threatened to attack the country Turkey since the government agreed to join the international coalition against the group.

Should Russia be concerned?

Russia seems concerned after the blasts. President Vladimir Putin has urged the international community to unite anti-terrorism efforts. Putin said it is the high time unite efforts in the fight against this evil. "What happened in Turkey... certainly is an impudent terrorist attack, a terrorist crime with scores of victims," Putin said in an interview.
