Cavoli), who noted: "When an ally or partner country is faced with a catastrophe and tragic loss of life, the United States does not hesitate for a moment to respond quickly to the needs of this country."
According to Cavoli, EUCOM is working with U.S. government agencies to provide assistance to Turkey from search and rescue operations to medical and humanitarian assistance.

GuestAn aircraft carrier to help...?
Terkish AirlineTurkey needs to withdraw from NATO very, very urgently.
Without thinking for a minute, Turkey should immediately make such a decision. American or European ships, planes should not swarm here, our state should know who is doing what. This ship is by no means a good omen.

They have bad intentions. May Allah protect our state and our people from their evil.
guestAmericans don't do anything in Incirlik.
There was an earthquake in Adana, too, but they did not send firefighters and rescuers to the place of destruction. They have a lot of technological devices, generators, cranes, lamps — they have not moved from their place. Don't believe in their friendship. There were helicopters already, but none of them even flew out of the hangar. Something's not right here.
GuestTake good care of the S-400, wherever they are.
