Russia was one of the first countries to send rescue workers and humanitarian aid to Turkey and Syria after a devastating earthquake, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.
“Not only did senior Russian officials offer condolences to their Turkish and Syrian counterparts, Russia immediately sent – at least, it was one of the first ones – special aircraft of the Emergencies Ministry carrying rescue workers and humanitarian cargo to Turkey and Syria,” he pointed out at a joint press conference with Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq Ali.
