The head of the Genel Maden İşçileri trade union's Armutçuk branch, İsa Mutlu, said the collapse took place during coal production activities.

Hasan Candan, the father of Nevzat Candan, said he had worked in the same mine for more than 18 years and did not know how the accident took place, though he knew the mine very well.

"I know the underground very well but I do not know how it happened," said Candan, adding that his son had just celebrated his birthday with his wife and children before the accident.
