Saudi Arabia to give $50m aid for earthquake-hit Turkey

What happened to the Iranian theory of Saudi Arabia being anti-Turkish :woot: :lol:

If there is a country Saudis love more than their own it's turkey by the way. You can thank the Turkish sobs for that lol.
 
thanks king! :tup:

i also donated 50 Kroner today, so i'm happy! :)

please dont turn this into political debate, when natural disasters happen only humanity should be important not politics!
 
Abdullah Gul's been living and working in KSA for almost a decade !

Great Move by KSA, and I think it is time we made our own "Red Cross" or some thing ....

Aid to the needy,
and First hand access to intelligence and theater.

My university is setting a program for med-student to help people in disaster areas next vacation. My parents didn't allow me to go to turkey or Pakistan :( so instead I will volunteer for Hajj.

Saudi Red Crescent Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia this organization got a boost in 2009. In time hopefully it will be a well respected organization on it's own right. Our red crescent is a partner of the Turkish red crescent.

sorry, I don't wanna turn this into a political debate as Silko said, but only because you're trying to use it as a political propaganda tool I should say: the epic failed.
So, you're telling us that you Saudis love Turkey more than your own country? :D
 
why the hell zardari is sleeping till now? it was turkey who help us first of all in any crisis time :angry:

Zardari the SOB, went to Saudi ... almost uninvited for the Prince's Funeral.
On his return he couldn't find seats for his 100ssss of fellows.
Thus under orders the PIA was almost F'ed.

That said and done, no need to discuss what he's doing.

I think some one shall come forward from the people of Pakistan and setup a Donation bank Account.

F Zardari, and F the Government.

Not all Iranian think like this.
Anyway good job from KSA !

You know in the region that the earthquake occured there are a lot of Iranians there.

Good point: Turkey indeed accepted all help from foreign countries and yo uknow even from israel (which shows Turkish are smart).
Even here in France everyday they speak about it and show the people who could be saved .

You're a medical student so i assume you above 20 years of age and you still have to ask permission to go somewhere?

Part of the cultere sort to speak. I can just go if I want but I don't want to get my parents angry. I could have easily went into a king Abdullah scholarship program but my parents are like that lol.

Plus all Saudis who are not married or study outside of their home cities live with their parents it's no biggy.

Sorry my bad writing betrayed me >_> what I meant is next to their own again sorry.
