At least 45 people have been killed in an attack on a wedding party in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, local media has reported.
Turkey's NTV television, citing authorities, said masked assailants with grenades and automatic weapons attacked the ceremony in the village of Bilge about 20km from the city of Mardin on Monday.
Besir Atalay, the Turkish interior minister, on Tuesday ruled out suggestions that the PKK, a Kurdish separatist group active in the country's southeast, may have been involved.
