PM Mitsotakis acclaims rescue effort in Türkiye

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis commended the ongoing efforts of rescue workers at the earthquake-stricken regions in Türkiye, in a tweet posted in Turkish on Tuesday evening. 

"Images that fill us with pain are followed by images that fill us with hope: only respect for the superhuman efforts of rescue teams. Greeks and Turks side by side, struggling together to save lives. We thank them for what they are doing." 

A Greek disaster management unit (EMAK) is operating in Türkiye following the fatal earthquakes that includes 21 rescuers, 5 doctors and paramedics, and 2 search-and-rescue dogs.
