ANKARA - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan postponed on Thursday his scheduled visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina after high-speed train derailed en route from Istanbul to Ankara.
Erdogan told reporters, ''the train accident is a very big incident.''
Noting that he delayed his visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he was scheduled to go on Friday, Erdogan said that the cause of the accident was not immediately clear.
Erdogan said that officials would make a statement about the cause of the accident after investigations were carried out.
Turkish PM Erdogan then left for northwestern Sakarya province to go to the scene of the accident.
