Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed the Islamic State for the bombing of an outdoor wedding party that killed 50 people and wounded 94 others.

Saturday’s attack in Gaziantep, near Syria’s border, appeared to be a suicide bombing, officials said.

Erdogan said in a statement that ISIS was “the most likely perpetrator of the Gaziantep attack.” He added that there was “absolutely no difference” between ISIS, Kurdish rebels and the movement behind the U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, calling them terrorists.

Turkey has been the target of waves of attacks in the past year that have been claimed by Kurdish militants linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) or were blamed on ISIS.
