---

Mourning father of three-year-old toddler Aylan Kurdi, sparking an outcry after a photo showing his lifeless body washing ashore over a deadly migrant boat disaster off Turkey's Muğla, told he had no demands for himself for this entire life, after his son's loss.

Abdullah Kurdi has lost his two children, Aylan and his five-year-old brother Galip Kurdi, along with his 27-year-old wife Zahim Kurdi, after the disaster. While the corpses were brought to Istanbul city, father Kurdi told reporters, “As a father without his children, I want nothing in further; I have nothing to demand of this entire life for myself. I only want peace in Syria” urging the tragedy in Syria should end.

Father Abdullah Kurdi and his relatives have been brought to a hotel in Istanbul. The corpses are expected to be brought to southeastern province of Şanlıurfa in the morning.
