LUDWIGSHAFEN - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a thorough investigation into an apartment fire which killed 9 Turkish citizens, five of them kids, in Germany's Ludwigshafen city.
"Both the German police and the firefighters did their best to save lives in the disaster but we are expecting a thorough investigation," Erdogan told a crowd gathered outside the apartment building after he met the families of the victims.
"Our grief is great; as a nation, our grief is great. But our German friends whom I have spoken to are also grieving," Erdogan said.
