Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke on the phone with Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Christos Stylianides late Thursday to thank him for the humanitarian aid that Greece has sent to the quake-stricken people of Turkiye.
Cavusoglu also asked Stylianides to convey his thanks to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the Greek people, noting that this aid was very substantial and not symbolic, as all the items included in the Greek aid consignment fully corresponded to the reality in the country and Turkiye’s needs in order to address the huge problems created by the powerful earthquake.
On his part, Stylianides told Cavusoglu that, as the prime minister has pledged, Greece will be at Turkiye’s side for as long as it is needed.
