World extends condolences over deadly earthquakes in Türkiye

ANKARA

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has received a number of phone calls and messages of support from officials across the world after devasting earthquakes struck Türkiye earlier this week.

Cavusoglu held at least 44 phone calls in which he was conveyed condolences for the dead and injured in the quakes.

Among those he spoke to include his South Korean, Japanese, Nepalese, Kuwaiti, and German counterparts.

Columbian, Australian and Gambian foreign ministers also expressed sympathies to Cavusoglu via messages.

The death toll from Monday’s Kahramanmaras-centered massive earthquakes has risen to 9,057, according to the Turkish president, with more than 52,000 others injured.

Other provinces in southern Türkiye that were affected by the tremors are Gaziantep, Hatay, Osmaniye, Adiyaman, Malatya, Sanliurfa, Adana, Diyarbakir and Kilis.
