The high death toll and the number of wounded have drowned our country in grief. We share intimately the great pain felt by the workers in Soma and their families. May Allah help us all.”

TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said:

“The news of the disaster in Soma has focused all of our there. The number of deaths and wounded is very high. There are not enough words to express the anguish felt.

There is nothing more valuable than human life. That is our only priority. Alas, the situation we are faced with crushes our hearts.

On behalf of the Turkish business community, I pray for the grace of Allah upon our worker brothers who have lost their lives; I hope for the rapid recovery of the wounded and pray for patience and resoluteness to their families.”
