Earthquake brothers: Athens takes a hit, and Turkey repays a kindness
Article Abstract:
This article describes the efforts of Turkey to aid the people of Athens, Greece after an earthquake shook that city in August 1999. Relevant points include the fact that the Turks were repaying the Greeks for helping them after the earthquake that killed 15,000 people in Turkey earlier the same month, and that this new spirit of cooperation and mutual assistance is overcoming the decades of hostility that have separated these two countries.
