Mr. Stylianidis told Mr. Tsavousoglou that, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also committed, the country will be on Turkey’s side as long as necessary.
The Foreign Minister of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke by phone yesterday at 10:30 pm with the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Christos Stylianides in order to thank him for the humanitarian aid that our country sent to the Turkish people hit by the devastating earthquake. As it became known, the communication was in a particularly warm atmosphere and Mr. Tsavousoglou asked Mr. Stylianidis to convey his thanks to the prime minister and the Greek people, stressing that the aid sent by our country is very substantial and not symbolic, as all the things included in the Greek humanitarian aid fully respond to the reality and the needs of Turkey to deal with the huge problems created by the earthquake.
Mr. Stylianidis reported to Mr. Tsavousoglou that as the prime minister also committed Kyriakos Mitsotakisthe country will be on Turkey’s side as long as needed.
It is noted that the humanitarian aid mission from our country to Turkey was completed late last night, as all the materials that had been collected were handed over to the Turkish authorities. This aid was transported to Turkey by a total of eight AEGEAN flights and consists of approximately 80 tons of health and medical equipment and basic necessities, such as 7,500 blankets, 1,500 beds and 500 tents that can accommodate families and be used as mobile clinics. The cost of transporting the humanitarian aid is covered by 75% by the European civil protection mechanism, while the remaining 25% of the national participation is sponsored by the airline AEGEAN.
It is recalled that the first wave of humanitarian aid was accompanied to Adana by Christos Stylianidis and the Minister of Civil Protection Vassilis Papageorgiou, while it was received by a Turkish delegation on behalf of the Turkish Foreign Minister M. Cavusoglu.
During the delivery of the humanitarian aid, Mr. Stylianides conveyed the Prime Minister’s support and emphasized that Greece and the EU as a whole stand by the Turkish people by demonstrating solidarity in action.
