We have learned with great sorrow that the earthquake which occurred in Iraq last night (12 November) has also seriously affected Kermanshah province of Iran and claimed many lives and injured many others.

The Turkish people, who have suffered from many earthquakes in the past, are in solidarity with the peoples of Iran and Iraq.
