Our pain is great. Turkey faced a great test. It must be reconstructed.” “Building buildings. Shelter must be provided to the millions of people who have become homeless. Turkey is a country of great opportunities, but it is not in a position to withstand this great test on its own. We needed help and Bulgaria was one of the first countries to respond to our call.” On behalf of the Turkish people, Iserkok thanked the President, the Government of Bulgaria and the people of Bulgaria.
The ambassador reported that a large train loaded with 70 containers, fully equipped for normal accommodation, was heading towards Turkey yesterday. The diplomat said, “Millions of Bulgarian citizens, including Karjali, have mobilized to respond to our call to help and help us. Thank you all!” he said. Eightkök stated that nearly 200 tons of financial aid has reached Turkey so far, and more than $2 million has been deposited in bank accounts opened by the Turkish embassy. The ambassador said: “Until now, Bulgaria was our neighboring country. From now on, you are our blood brothers.”

Aziz stated that so far, 12 trucks full of relief materials collected by seven municipalities in Karjali district, including more than 400 villages in Karjali district, have been sent to Turkey. Meanwhile, the amount collected and transferred by the municipalities in Karjali Province for the purpose of helping earthquake victims in Turkey is more than 750 thousand levs, including 230 thousand levs collected by the Mufti. doctor. M.
