In return we will gain the friendship of the Greek people and create opportunity to turn the Aegean into a sea of ​​peace. Humanitarian aid given by Turkey in international institutions in 2013 amounted to 1.9 billion dollars. Turkey has the potential to offer such assistance. It can do this even through an interest-free loan. "

Minister Nihat Zeymbekci replied characteristically: "If Greece asked Turkey for help, then we would consider paying the Greek debt."
