  • PM visiting Turkey to express sorrow over deaths.
  • Turkish ambassador bid farewell to premier.
  • "No country alone can deal with such huge devastation."
LAHORE: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday reached Turkey to express solidarity and support with the Turkish people following the massive earthquake that claimed more than 36,000 lives and left the country reeling.


The premier, who is on a two-day trip, was welcomed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the presidency in Ankara.


At the presidential palace, the premier "expressed his condolences over the loss of life and infrastructure as a result of the historic earthquake in Türkiye," a statement by the official Twitter account of the government stated.


Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb, Special Assistant to the PM Tariq Fatemi and National Disaster Management Authority Chairman Lt Gen Inam Haider accompanied the prime minister.

Turkish ambassador to Pakistan Mehmet Pacaci bid adieu to the premier as he departed from the Lahore Airport for the quake-hit country, where he was welcomed by Turkish officials at Ankara Esenboğa Airport.

Before his departure, PM Shehbaz took to Twitter to share his condolences: "I am leaving for Turkiye with a message of unwavering solidarity and support for our Turkish brothers and sisters from the people and government of Pakistan.

"True to the spirit of one nation living in two states, we consider their loss as ours," he said.


During his two-day stay in Ankara, the prime minister will meet President Erdogan to personally convey heartfelt condolences on behalf of the entire Pakistani nation over the loss of lives and the widespread damage.

In another tweet, the premier expressed his grief over the massive losses and noted that no matter how resourceful the country was, it could not fight such devastation without any help.

He stated: "Natural disasters as the earthquake in [Turkey and] Syria are beyond the capacity of any single government to handle. No country, howsoever resourceful, can deal with devastation of this magnitude. It is time the world came forward [and] extended support to the suffering humanity."

During his visit to Turkey, the prime minister will reiterate Pakistan's firm commitment to stand by the Turkish people during difficult times and to continue extending all possible support to the ongoing relief effort.

He will also visit earthquake-affected areas in southern Turkey, and interact with the Pakistani search-and-rescue teams deployed in the area, as well as survivors of the earthquake.

In the wake of the devastating earthquake in southern Turkey, the prime minister had spoken with President Erdogan on February 6 and assured him of all possible assistance for the rescue and relief effort.

All available resources have been fully mobilised to help the Turkish people, and the Turkish prime minister is personally overseeing the relief effort.

Pakistan and Turkey enjoy deep fraternal ties. The two countries have resolutely stood by each other during every trial and tribulation.

It should be noted on February 7, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb had announced that Shehbaz Shehbaz would be travelling to Turkey to condole President Erdogan on the devastating earthquake that hit the country. However, the trip was postponed.


 
While the whole world is not showing any solidarity with Pakistan and letting its people suffer in poverty and hunger.
 
شہباز شریف کے حکومت میں آنے سے پاکستان میں مسلسل مہنگائی کے زلزلے آرہے ہیں۔ صدر اردگان سے گزارش ہے کہ اس کو وہیں پکڑ کر بند کردیں تاکہ ہم سکون کا سانس لے سکیں۔
🙏🏼

Don't you think this is a heavy accusation a little? If a single one of our brothers bleeds in Pakistan, we feel the pain in our hearts. Which call of the Pakistani people have we left unanswered until today, which pain have we not mobilized for?

After a terrorist attack in Paris, heads of state all over the world lay wreaths and personally convey condolences on behalf of those who lost their lives, while actions against Turkiye, which fights terrorism the most intensely in the world and has lost thousands of its citizens, are almost supported. We know this feelings very well.

Until February 6-7, 2023, the main page of the donation websites of AFAD, Red Crescent and Diyanet only featured the aid campaigns for the Pakistan floods. Not to mention dozens of NGOs. To access aid for other regions, you had to go to other pages outside the homepage. Numerous ministers from TR, including the ministries of interior, environment and urbanization, government officials and deputies of the Turkish Grand National Assembly visited the disaster areas to assess the needs and see what could be done and to convey condolences on behalf of the Turkish nation.

I wish we could do more. But humanity, the western world is indifferent not only to Pakistan, but also to Somalia, to Palestine, to the Syrians who have been expelled from their country or forced to live in tents, to many other Muslim lands. Maybe we are not the richest people in the world, but if necessary, we can put one bread less on our table, when the people of Pakistan call us, we try to do something. Don't confuse us with the west of us.
