The Georgian Ambassador to Turkey, Giorgi Janjgava, along with the representatives of the Embassy, is travelling to Turkey’s southeastern Adıyaman Province to deliver humanitarian supplies to the disaster zone worst affected by the deadly quake, the Ambassador said on Sunday.
In his social media post, Janjgava said the Georgian Embassy would contact the local government at the site of the disaster zone and would meet with the victims of the earthquake.
He also noted the representatives of the Embassy would meet with the Georgian rescuers, who had been already engaged in search and rescue operations, and added they would try to take Georgian citizens out from the quake-hit areas to Turkey’s capital city of Ankara.
