Turkish Embassy in Sofia opens book of condolences for victims of earthquakes

On February 8 and 9 the Turkish Embassy in Sofia opens a book of condolences. Through the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Turkish diplomatic mission announced that citizens and organizations will be able to express their condolences for the thousands of victims who have been affected by the devastating earthquake in the country.

The book will be available to citizens from 2 to 4 p.m. today and from 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. on tomorrow.

The hospital said that the St. Ivan Rilski University Hospital in Sofia is prepared to admit victims of the earthquakes in Turkey. The health facility provides diagnostics, treatment and highly qualified care for those in need.

The ten-year-old Manol, son of Father Peter Garena from Kardzhali, was the first to join the campaign of District Muftiate in the regional town to raise funds for the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey. The boy donated the money from his piggy bank, said Kardzhali District Mufti Basri Eminefendi. The boy came to us before school and left the savings from his piggy bank. The night before, Manol saw the collapsed buildings and rescuers' attempts to pull out of the stranded and told his father he also wanted to pitch in and help, the cleric said.
