Another 11 people were injured in the accident in Tutak, which is in Agri province near the borders with Iran and Armenia, according to Turkey’s Health Minister Fahrettin Koca.
“Seven of our citizens have lost their lives in a bus which caught fire after it overturned. I wish them God’s mercy,” Erdogan says at the end of a speech on another subject.
