we need to look into the situations in those respective countries and wanted to feel that. and there had been some publications in sweden with regards to citizen joining nato forces not very helpful, but of course we always month natal to be a strong and get stronger and be as as, as a turkey, as a member country. as an alliance of nato, we will continue to provide the support needed for nato to stay strong on that. and as you know, not you know, it is working, affiliations, and emissions. and as a, we are one of the 1st 5 countries that provide all these things to nato will do. so, and of course, we will continue to provide our support and cooperation in the same me. i just

would like to say to them, so i have them back in front of you again. welcome to turkey, and now i give the floor to him. it's so good to see you again and thank you for your warm welcome and thank you for your personal lines. it comes, i guess i'm children, that's a good shall see. to show my solidarity following the devastating earthquake that struck turkey the last week. this is the deadliest, the natural disaster on alliance territory since the foundation of natal on behalf of they don't offer my deepest condolences to the turkish people and the families and the loved ones of all those who lost their lives or, or were injured. we salute the courage or the turkish 1st responders.

army morn with you. natal eyes lowered their flags, insulin, them off to the earthquake. and at this week, sir, the fence ministerial meeting, we observed a moment of silence to honor that victims. in your time of need, natal stands with takia that they all for the earthquake, nate, those dissolves to response center, issued an immediate request for assistance to all naval allies and partners. since then, thousands of emergency response personnel have been deployed to tokyo to support the reef efforts, including with search and rescue teams, firefighters, medical personnel, and seismic experts. nato allies continue to provide support.

military aircraft from the netherlands, norway, the u. k. and united states are working day and night to transport international aid to, to kia and perform medical evacuations. all the allies alike, albanian canada and germany are providing financial and all the types of 8th and across natal. ordinary citizens are raising millions of euros in support to, to kia this is to and deep solidarity also welcome them, contributions. so our invitees, finland, and sweden showing solid at the inaction in particular. i thank sweden for it's initiative to hold on international donor conference in march. the

focus going forward will be on reconstruction on supporting the displaced. that is why a need to is now setting up temporary housing for thousands of displayed people. in addition, nate will also use our satiric alias capabilities to transport tens of thousands of tenths to, to kia in the coming days and weeks. all this will have till se life's nato has a team on the ground working hand in hand with the turkish authorities. later today, i will meet with some of the personnel supporting these efforts and thank them for their professionalism on their dedication. so ministers, ours, a room, thank again for hosting me today. this is a time for ne to our lives on partners to come together, standing alongside the people alter kia to day and to morrow in strong celebrity

with tina etc. reuters, and here my question goes to i, mr. secretary job a to mr. stuart to mark target smith standard on signal that turkey could ratified a finance application to nato alone. you're already a, refer to this issue this week, and you said the main question is not so whether together or thereafter eradication . the main question is that they should be ratified as soon as possible. so my question is a, is there a deadline for nate? i mean, not a, an official deadline, but it will it be, will it cost the problem for nato? if turkey does not complete certification process till vilnius summit

and in addition to that, it turkey objects, sweden's application mainly on terrorism related issues. and you also emphasize that turkey has legitimate concerns on this if there is an issue there. so how this fight against terrorism issue will be discussed in a wellness summit at same are considered a condo switching under constant a except so do not mix them. can cushman is the single in connecticut variable calendar univision, a voted on them with addition, andrea rush through them joining in view. has there been a new so michael system position now has been on her remains the time has come to ratify both finan and as written on make them full members of our lines. they have both made her big steps since we signed the.

i don't memorandum entry in unless written, entered in in july at the nato summit in madrid last year. and they have removed any restrictions on arms exports. instantly legislation on the terrorism on the straighten is also amending the constitution and stepped up the corporation which are tia also established a permanent mechanism to continue to work also which are tia and the fight against terrorism. and so i continue to believe that the time is now to ratify both finance and the sweden nose on that i. i fully recognize that turkey a has legitimate security concerns. no, all been angela has suffered more ties a taxed on a turkey. and that's the reason why terrorism was an important part of the thought

after memorandum agreed in july, and that's why for natal defaulting inside of them is one of the main tasks and why, of course, as you prepare for the wellness, i'm with us. we continue to adapt the alliance attorneys and will be high on the nato, a gender. and i also believe that to how can an uncertain inside their lines would actually strengthen our capabilities to fight in national terrorism. then on your question, over over whether a fin and uncertain should be ratified together, or whether it's possible to rectify finan 1st and soon afterwards. well again, my position is that both can be ratified now. but the main issue is not whether they are ratified together. the main issue is that finan and sweden are, are not defined as soon as possible that then let me also say that

i know that the, the burning of the koran and stockholm and has created strong reactions in tortilla. and i understand, and i shared the pain because i personally god and the burning of the holy book as a disgraceful act. and i understand the feelings of muslims in turkey and around the world. and that therefore i also strongly called them the burning. but also welcome the fact that sweden has been able to prevent other manifestations with. ready the burning of the koran as part of the the manifestation and, and i welcome also that to the swedish government on the swedish prime minister,

has kelly condemned this disgraceful act? no, not all the acts which are disgraceful or immoral or provocative are illegal, but it is important to have a strong position on that side. and what we have seen a clearly from the swedish, a government. so i'm from it is to just demonstrate the a street and opinion understand and the are implementing a policies which recognizes the the, the concerns that turkey has expressed. and also why i think that to the time has come to ratify. let me add one more thing and that is that this is,

this is a turkish decision. it's, it's a, it's the turkish government, the turkish parliament, the, that the sides on the issue over iraq, the vacation, and it's a turkish decision alone. ah, because what has to be decided by chakiya is rather to ratify the accession documents and that this and the decision that the turkey has to take truck in every every couldn't get up plant them as they were at my children. j actually shortly found that so they didn't give people. cornea meeting has been filled on the, as i said, my open speech a little while ago is found you ready to join. much to is one of the actors and carried to being natalia. of course,

now we have been in touch with the content countries as well as course i pad ministration. then that means i can find you in rush column is that we can actually treat them as a separate applications, individual applications rather than as one because they have ratios in i'm sort of this will be discussed during the anything that y'all are punishing from the various pass the medical issues so either just shows that it was my concern needs to my medical need to resolve it. and again, as it gets, ended up this old and had a discussion about the thankfully the general secretary has been very supportive and not going to be in the bed contributed to and i have little respect for the work you might, his name is being doing on this issue that we we are really great what's been done

on us on it. and of course he's important message for those 2 countries to join in the names of natal. but you have short questions or concerns as you get and have a discussion. the bottom line is basically these, these 2 companies have taken some steps, some steps, we cannot deny this, and we do not. of course we look at this in a device, but hold on, kind of, susan did it in time and you know, they get to them a check to be sure or has some responsibilities. and i cannot say they have complied with the responsibilities they have. so they've been right, couple less than just need to see them taking further steps to managing the dad is also making some changes in their constitution to old to achieve this has been

enough money and sundays she terrorist, i ensure that i am actually finding finance in the terrorist activity, some dollars and also gone down, let me get some parents probably gone back to common. the summer needs to be tough . i find it about my change of lo fi, that is k y, p g same activities still continue whether on and also financing. determinism is a very important issue for our p k occasion or the followers entity. that is sony started taking part in october 18th to get together with the photo of the panama of the language, a lot of language. and i mention, of course, we are, they did not make the changes in the load and just to keep us happy.

and they have to implement those, those that they put in, for example, forth against the i c. and we had been fighting against p k, k. and of course now they have to do what they need to do to get around to get him in with us as well as money comply did not introduce necessity. so we have the center again in not also the ball a hate crimes make day and not a upon that. and you can and as a terrorism limit up to the parents after this. i know, of course, are called and we are also bad that p k, k, and other problem other organizations causing issues that prevent that trying to prevent susan who can join in

d u. and this is actually a criminal left. and of course, i believe the respective countries will take steps to deal with these issues in the common day can be will not obvious. and also a no, not a good at that i some activities against islam as well and furnish the pin on the i need to get these kind of for criminal activities against this is also crime against humanity and it needs to be looked at from different aspects and this is a special thing that they just need to take some concrete steps to resolve these issues in yesterday then may be a lawson has visited to turkey recently and van they ran through the

national assembly. we have spoken abuse in many different aspects about this matter, matter and we just expect it to them through a specialty to them to take those steps. of course, we had math against nato makers, expansion, and needs to be than join him in tonight. i want to kind him the watching are deserving bringing a live pictures from anchor, where nato secretary general gen salton berg has been holding a press conference after meeting with turkish foreign minister. my vote kava solo, both men and in principal there to discuss the efforts being made by nato members to try to help the people who took here following the twin earthquakes that happened several days ago. and interestingly, however, the press conference has been somewhat overtaken by questions over the potential nato membership of both sweden and finland. turkey has been objecting to sweden's

efforts to join. both men have been addressing that particular issue in the press conference, immediately after the statements that they made a want to bring and send him costello who is joining us live from the turkish capital anchor has sent him. i'm very, it's interesting isn't it, that there is a tremendous amount of work that is being done by nato. i think of it covers all who referred to the fact that were 1500 rescue personnel from nato who had been a brought in. and yet be the focus of this press conference appears to be about as i say, finland and sweet particularly sweden's membership of natal. i'll definite that the main reason i was gathering was the, the nato secretary general's a will to express his condolences and show the solidarity of financial ally institute care the 2nd largest army a within the alliance. of course, a membership of those to nordic countries have been a matter as the nato needs to expand as soon as possible. but as we have listened

from the turkish foreign minister, chill was shallow. as specialists, sweden's accession are related to sweden's accession on. kara has some concern basic rank or a belief that the output could to saw workers party a acts very freely, very comfortably inside sweden n. earlier we had heard turkish present saying that to gaze rather to approve it than succession. but then we heard finland saying that they may pull out of from this request unless they are accepted. simultaneous, that would suit them. but as for nato led, they should. it doesn't matter whether those 2 nor to countries are accepted. a accession bit is approved by a true kid simpleton used to, but it should happen asap. so we will see secretary general of nato travel at 1st it visits a turkish presence are the on then fly to in julie gateway, sent it,

go to one of the military, a posts in escandone with turkish defense minister. and i evaluate the needs in the area and, and the nato alliance is sending a thought tens of thousands of shelters for the people in neat. rob said, i'm thank you very much indeed that some concealed her. bringing up to date from anchor. well rescue efforts are winding down, but relief operations are being scaled up. people in some remote areas and took care of santa to receive aid in syria. health has been slow to arrive, but it hasn't stopped. syrian refugees in took here from trying to go back home across the region, shelter, food, drinking water and health care are all in short supply more than 41000 people to be killed since the quake struck 2 weeks ago. the so santo's got more from the took he has sylvia bought over 8 is making its way into the country. a delivery as is just on the way here at the $18.00 border crossing here and did it on the other

side of the border. just thank kilometers away. the generous, the town of generous is there. it's one of the hardest hit, the worst hit place in northwest syria, over a 1000 people have died and over for over 300 buildings, how cool left engender has and the surrounding areas. so in total there are more than as more than 5000 people that are dead and a 150000 have already been displaced here. so it is that the gender is, is one of them, but there are some of the other places as well, very much close to hear her m sucking a tentative, an ottoman as these places are the most, at the worst heat places here. and as of now, we can say that they did it, the delivery is slow. however, it started to arrive,

the united nations and the world had to health organization. they have been able to deliver the aid, which is most needed by the syrians here. and the country aid and also rat crescent, are constantly delivering it. however, considering the fact that just the note was still, there are roughly around 5000000 people. still they need much more of the health and the syrians that we talk. they're telling us that the aid is too late is too little and they feel they a bit sad. they are angry. they feel that they are abandoned and forgotten by the international community. so i was talking to one of the rescue at risk rescuer here and he said as particularly for the 1st 3 days, almost there was nothing, no escalators, no diggers, no light even to work through the night. no heavy lifting machineries. and they had to work with very much primitive, a cook men's, they lacked more than equipment. and that's why the death toll is quite high here.

long quakes of i was in severe, angry about the late arrival of 8 hundreds of families living on the streets menu, say they're becoming ill. as temperatures fall below 0 lower con reports. this little boy is too young to understand how last week earthquake will shape his life. he simply wants his mother. oh ha ah, it's bitterly cold engendered east. a town in the rebel held district of afrin in one of the areas was hit by the earthquake him northwestern syria. these people were forced on to the streets after their homes were destroyed. conditions are harsh and resources short. i am besought a zed. i was asleep when the earthquake happened. the war collapsed on me and i broke my arm and leg. and now i'm here in the cold. i am at a loss for words. my fiance can come with you. there are 2 few tents for the number

of people here i'm there about 3 families pretends about 200 people are out in the open. and if you can see it with your own eyes, but the cold is killing us, will do the hunger in the sickness i am. i am a woman with diabetes. for some, it's a struggle to speak. this is what the town looks like now . lives shattered everything they know destroyed, the united nations of calling it a crisis of colossal proportions that affected more than 9000000 people in syria. and they desperately need help before the quake aid for more than 4000000 people was delivered to just one crossing theory as president of the greed to open to more from turkey. but people here feel forgotten and say they should be a priority. now and i'm in la la la, i've been sleeping on the ground. it's now 7 days of sleeping for my children are

getting sick from the cold. i can't imagine his tuition worse than this. wonderful pain and suffering may not be new to many who have endured years of war. but it's one of the biggest tragedies that's befallen them. and now they're just trying to survive. neural con algio theorem across the board are small villages and so okay, i have been flattened, stephanie decker, charlotta chuck mark in the province of goes into the destruction to the small village of chuck mac is absolute. the earthquake hasn't spared a single home here. the chief of the village takes us to what's left of his house. he says, he can't believe he made it out alive, battery up at willow simba, my wife and i were to sleep. we don't know what happened to us. how we woke up when i tried to go outside. i got injured on my head. that was enough. we were terrified

the earthquake threw me. it was very hard and it made me lose my mind. incredibly, no one lost their lives here. but just as large parts of so many towns and cities, this village to will need to be completely rebuilt. in another village, further up the mountain, even the dead have been disturbed. the grave shifted as the earth cracked. if you look at the ground in the cemetery, you can see where the earthquake has disturbed all the bricks. and then over here, it has literally pushed a grave out of the ground and then leaving absolutely no doubt as to the power of mother nature, the violence with, with which it split the earth. yes. used to be 5 meters deep, but emergency services have filled it back and checkmark, this village or tells us they thought it was the last day of the world. kedusha mar

them earlier shown that i never fell an earthquake like this before. nobody else. i asked either, 1st there was a terrifying sound. we felt a huge pressure. the land kept moving. i was convinced no one was alive any more. it felt never ending. it was so strong. they tell us, help came on the 2nd day. now they sleep intense, provided by turkey's disaster agency set up inside the village. no one intends to leave here. as we finish filming a few villages are removing what they can from their broken homes, before they will be demolished. they are determined to rebuild. they tell us as soon as possible, stephanie decker, al jazeera, chuck mac village in south eastern to kia telecoms, been set in our gym until care for people who lost their homes. and the quakes are so big as joining us from their asset. we've just been hearing about the need for more age to be flown and.
