"We had been waiting for good news from a Karadon coal mine of theTurkish Hard Coal Enterprise where workers had been trapped due to the explosion on Monday, May 17. After having waited with hope for four days, we were faced with heart-wrenching news that this horrible accident claimed many lives. Our grief is hardly bearable.
I wholeheartedly share the agony of the victims' families. May they all rest in peace."
