Moriwaki thanks the Turkish Nation

In an interview with Anadolu Agency (AA), Moriwaki stated that he is always grateful to the Turkish nation and explained the reason for this gratitude as follows: “In 1890, the Japanese rescued the survivors of a Turkish ship that crashed into the rocks in Japan. In 1985, during the Iran-Iraq war, you rescued 215 Japanese who were stranded at the airport in Tehran by giving them your airplane. At first we didn’t understand the reason for this, then we realized that you did such a good deed in return for the good deed done in 1890. For this, as a Japanese, I would like to thank the Turkish people very much.”
