Turkish Ambassador to Bulgaria Aylin Sekizkok thanked the Bulgarian Red Cross for the timely and adequate support it rendered Turkey in the wake of the February earthquakes, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports.
During a meeting with the chairman of the Bulgarian Red Cross Hristo Grigorov and the organization’s director general Krassimir Gigov, Ambassador Sekizkok stated that until now Bulgaria was for Turkey a friendly neighbourly country, but is now a brother-country. Ambassador Sekizkok reiterated the appeal of the Turkish Red Crescent for restricting material donations, with the exception of winter tents and specialized heaters for them, as well as container homes.
The Bulgarian Red Cross is urging all partner organizations, on behalf of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, to prioritize financial aid for Turkey and Syria.
