The German media continue to refer to the offer of aid from Greece to Turkey after the deadly earthquakes, speaking of easing the tension between the two countries and of the possibility of a revival of “earthquake diplomacy».
Yesterday evening a commemorative event for the victims of the earthquakes was held in Berlin, during which the Minister of Agricultural Economy of Turkish origin Cem Ezdemir stated that “Greece immediately offered help to Turkey and it may be time to put an end to the rivalry».
“Opportunity for Peace: Greece shows solidarity with its eternal enemy – How Turkey’s Earthquake Defuses Conflict in the Aegean,” is the title of an analysis by Stern magazine, which notes that “the devastating earthquake is setting aside hostile acts, and enemies may even be able to become friends.” As emphasized in the article, Greece was one of the first countries to respond to Turkey’s call and help the earthquake victims. “The help from Greece is probably of great importance also because the rescuers are well trained and have the required experience, due to the frequent earthquakes in Greece”, the editor says and adds that Greece has already sent dozens of tons of humanitarian aid to Turkey and Syria. In addition, special mention is given to social media posts with the Hashtag “teşekkürleryunanistan” (“Thank you Greece”).
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung describes the rescue by Greek firefighters of a six-year-old girl and a photo of Greek and Turkish rescuers carrying the child. “And just a picture like this it is a good sign in times of political tension between the two neighboring countries”, it is pointed out.
