ErdoÄŸan was quoted as saying by Hurriyet Daily News there were 69 people wounded who were currently receiving treatment in hospitals, 17 of whom are in critical condition.
The bomb attack occurred targeting an outdoor wedding party in southeastern Turkey on Saturday, media reports said on Sunday.
The incident, believed to have been carried out by a suicide bomber, happened in Turkey's Gaziantep city.
