I express my deepest sympathy for the people of Athens, on the occasion of today's earthquake.

I wish that the death toll will not rise.

Hello Greek friends and the rest,

Sadly, I have learned about another earthquake this time in Greece. Luckily, it wasn't as powerful as the one in Turkey, but big enough to make itself noticed and there has been some casualties (the official death toll at the time of writing says around 27, that is way lower than Turkish figure, and hope it just stays there!)

These earthquakes are horrific times for the people. As a turk living in the US, I was deeply saddened by the quake in Turkey. My aunt and her family was living right near Izmit and they lost their apartment and all their belongings, but luckily they were all safe. We can always put things back together, but can't replace lives lost. I have put down more on my web page, you can check it out at http://www.concentric.net/~Tapkan/quake.htm

About this fresh earthquake happened in Greece, I am buffled and amazed. My deep condolences... Hope the loss of life stays minimal along with property loss. Also I read Turkish government and other organizations offered similar and tried to return the good deed back. As an old turkish saying goes "Dost kotu gunde belli olur", translation "Friends show themselves on bad days".

Let this earthquake be it and have both Greek and Turkish nations close together and go through these difficult times. We both have a lot to offer to each other, especially support. Let's bury the hatchet and don't let dirty politics get involved again. Peace to all and be safe!

To all our Greek friends,

May those who suffer from the loss of their loved ones find temporary relief in knowing that we share their grief. We are neighbors and unfortunately, among the many beautiful things we share, there is also the tragedy of earthquakes. While the numbers in loss of lives of both earthquakes may not be comparable, to every single family, Turkish or Greek, the loss of a loved one is a tragedy which cannot be measured.

May I present my deepest and most sincere thoughts to those who lost a family member or a friend today and also thank our good neighbors for their invaluable help when tragedy struck our side of the border.

To all our brothers from Turkey,

thank you for your kindness and the warmth of your hearts. It was a shock for all of us here in Athens because the sesmic fault was last activated around 1750 ! So far there are 41 confirmed dead -most of them children-and 70 or more trapped under the ruins...The first foreign team to reach Athens were our brothers from Turkey and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Lets keep our newfound friendship alive, Thank you again
