Following the accident that took place in Soma, the Assembly President sent a letter of condolences to the President of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey:
“It is with profound sadness that I learned of the horrendous mining tragedy which happened yesterday in Turkey and which has cost the lives of hundreds of mining workers.
My thoughts go out to those who have lost loved ones and whose lives have been devastated and I hope that the injured will soon be reunited with their families and friends.
Please allow me to extend to you – and through you to all those affected by this terrible accident – my most heartfelt sympathy.”
