I am deeply saddened to learn that many precious lives were lost due to the accident on October 14 at a coal mine in Bartin province of the Republic of Turkey. Japan stands with your country. On behalf of the Government and the people of Japan, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to those who lost their lives and pray for the early recovery to those who were injured.
