Turkish people will not forget those who stood by them in those difficult
times, and we believe that the unwavering friendship between Turkey and Jordan
will continue forever.

Jordan, and since the first day of the disaster, the royal directives of the
government, the armed forces, public security, and all competent authorities
have been to provide everything that is possible for the brothers in
Turkey."
He stressed the depth and strength of the
relations between Jordan and Turkey at various levels and the development it is
witnessing.
