Irans Request For Fighting Fire Aproved By Turkey by nurudeen181(m): 1:34pm On Aug 01, 2021 |
Iran’s Defense Ministry says a firefighting plane designed by its young
experts has joined operations in neighboring Turkey to battle forest
fires sweeping through the country’s southern regions.
Mohammad-Mahdi Nouri al-Aqa, the head of the ministry’s aerial fire
control and logistics center, said a firefighting operation team and an
aircraft with a capacity of 40 tonnes of water had been deployed to the
Turkish city of Mugla.
He also expressed hope that with the addition of two more helicopters
in the coming days, the Iranian team can help extinguish blazes in
more areas and prevent their spread.
“The quality of the Iranian team's presence distinguishes its work from
other teams sent by neighboring countries, which is a source of pride
for Iranians.”
In a post on his Twitter account on Saturday, Iran’s Ambassador to
Ankara Mohammad Farazmand confirmed the contribution of an
Ilyushin plane belonging to the Defense Ministry in fire control
operations in southern Turkey.
“The Defense Ministry’s firefighting helicopters will also take part in
the aid operation from tomorrow,” he added. "Neighbors will not leave
each other alone.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a tweet on Friday
expressed sympathy with the Turkish government and people,
stressing that Iran’s firefighting facilities will be at the disposal of the
people of Turkey.

The wildfires broke out in Turkey’s Mediterranean and southern
Aegean regions on Wednesday and have since killed six people,
injured hundreds and forced the evacuation of villages and hotels.
Firefighters are struggling to contain the flames which are fanned by
sweltering heat and strong winds.
During a visit to the town of Manavgat in Antalya province, Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said all damaged houses would be
rebuilt and losses compensated, adding that Azerbaijan, Russia,
Ukraine and Iran had sent firefighting planes and support teams to the
affected areas. |
