Turkish media highlights Azerbaijan's humanitarian aid to Syria

Turkish media outlets have extensively covered Azerbaijan's recent humanitarian aid shipment to Syria, highlighting the strong ties of brotherhood between the two nations.

News agencies, newspapers, and online portals have commended Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for his decision to assist the Syrian people, Caliber.Az reports citing local media.

The shipment consists of ten trucks carrying 200 tons of aid, which have already crossed the Turkish-Georgian border at the Sarp checkpoint in Artvin province. The trucks are en route to the Çobanbey checkpoint in Kilis, a southern Turkish province, before the aid is transferred to the Turkish government's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) warehouses. From there, the humanitarian supplies will be distributed to Syrian families in need.

One of the drivers, Ilhan Bayram, shared that he had been on the road for 36 hours, emphasizing Azerbaijan's solidarity with Syria. "Azerbaijan and its people have shown true solidarity with the Syrians. The humanitarian cargo we are taking to Syria is a clear example of this," Bayram stated.

Another driver, Mahmut Kirac, also expressed gratitude to the Azerbaijani government for its support to the Syrian people during this difficult time.
