He said, “We are waiting for a high-level participation in this conference, and we hope to raise large sums of money in order to offer what we can to the Syrian and Turkish peoples.”
On February 6, a double earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, the first measuring 7.7 degrees and the second 7.6 degrees, followed by thousands of violent aftershocks, which caused great losses in lives and property in both countries.
