Turkish Government Official 'Sorry' After Kicking Protester
An aide to Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he was "deeply saddened" by the Turkish mine disaster in Soma and "sorry" after he was seen kicking a protester there.
"I was deeply saddened by the Soma incident," he said. "I am sorry that I was not able to keep my calm."
The phrase, some say, is not an apology for kicking the man. It's more one that expresses regret.
Yusuf Yerkel says I am really sorry. It has profoundly affected me but I was provoked and insulted and then lost my temper.
