Greek Defense Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos will visit his Turkish counterpart on April 4, following the extensive damage Turkey has recently suffered due to earthquakes. This visit comes amid ongoing competition between the two NATO partner countries. The Greek minister stated in an interview that he would inspect the damages in southeastern Turkey.
Recently, Turkey experienced an earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale in Malatya province.
As the demand for radar devices that detect people trapped under rubble (DIAR) has surged in Turkey, the manufacturing company is conducting studies to enhance the device's effectiveness in responding to natural disasters.
Previously, Shukri Ersoy, a member of the scientific committee in AFAD and dean of the Faculty of Construction at Yildiz Technical University, identified the nine most hazardous areas in Istanbul in the event of a potential earthquake.
