Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he is "deeply upset" after a fire gutted Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
"The fire that spread through Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of the symbols of Paris and the common heritage of humanity, has deeply upset us," he tweeted in French.
"In my name and in the name of my people, I convey to the French people my wishes for recovery," he added.
The fire at Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral broke out at around 7pm local time on Monday. Due to fierce blaze, the building’s spire and most of the roof collapsed. According to preliminary information, the fire is believed to have been sparked by the ongoing renovation works on a higher level of the cathedral.
