Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan says Iraqi and regional authorities must swiftly find the perpetrators behind the deadly restaurant attack in the northern city of Erbil which martyred a Turkish diplomat on Wednesday.
According to the restaurant owner, the attacker -- civil dressed and carrying two guns -- targeted the Turkish diplomats dining in the restaurant.
One Turkish diplomat, who was working at Turkey's Consulate General in Erbil, was martyred after the shooting attack.
Erbil's police chief Abdulhalik Talat said an investigation was immediately launched into the incident and detailed information will be shared later.
All the roads leading to other cities were blocked to prevent the attacker from escaping.
Security forces took measures in front of the restaurant after the attack.
