On the 10th, five days after the Turkey-Syria earthquake struck, Ambassador Sari Murat Tamer, who met at the Turkish Embassy in Seoul in Jung-gu, said, “From the day the earthquake struck, I wanted to help in any way possible.” “I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Korean government and the Korean people for their material and spiritual support to Turkey,” he said. .
Ambassador Thamel said of the affected areas, “Several cities are being destroyed as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped.” Two hours later, there were 1,000 more,” he lamented. The Turkish ambassador to South Korea, who has been serving as Turkish ambassador to South Korea since September last year, said, “My colleague who lives in Hatay (southern Turkey) is also missing due to this earthquake.” I am praying,” he said.
Korea and Turkey, which celebrated the 66th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year, are practicing the spirit of the clan during this disaster. The South Korean government has dispatched 118 Emergency Relief Teams (KDRT) to the affected areas, and donations from South Koreans have been pouring in. Ambassador Thamel said, “In the future, we will have to rebuild hospitals and schools, so cash support is important, but for the time being, the most necessary items are thick tents and winter clothes.” We are providing account numbers for support on the embassy’s official Facebook page and Twitter.” “The Turkish people will not lose hope,” he said.
Turkey, a country that participated in the June 25th War (Korean War), has the third highest number of casualties in the war after the United States and the United Kingdom, with about 15,000 people participating and 721 killed in action. 462 Turkish soldiers are buried in the Busan United Nations Memorial Park Cemetery.
