I would like to convey our profound condolences to the people of brotherly Turkiye for the tragic loss of many lives, countless injuries, displacement of families and widespread damage to the vital infrastructures.

Our deepest sympathy and solidarity to the bereaved families of the victims and wishes for a speedy recovery for those who are wounded and have been affected directly or indirectly by this calamity.

I can only begin to imagine how challenging it must be for those responding to this appalling disaster.
