Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım has stated that a commission will be established in the Parliament to investigate the fire in the girls' dorm in Adana killing 12 people.

Holding the opening speech at the meeting of Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) in Ankara, Yıldırım has said; "the issue [dorm fire] will be evaluated by establishing an investigation commission and measures to be taken in similar dorms will be designated".

"Our hope is that we don't have to suffer similar grief. But where there are people, there will always be errors. No matter how excellent devices you develop, whatever you do, the humankind has not yet been able to develop any device to eliminate human mistakes".

11 children and one dorm staff had lost their lives in the fire that broke out at Özel Aladağ Tahsil Çağındaki Talebelere Yardım Derneği Ortaöğretim Kız Öğrenci Yurdu, a girls' student dorm, in Adana province on November 29. (YY/DG)
