UN General Assembly
1962

94. Speaking of international co-operation, I believe that the move of solidarity displayed almost spontaneously by the Member countries regarding measures to be explored for bringing help to the victims of the recent earthquake disaster in Iran is a most striking example of co-operation on humanitarian grounds under the aegis of the United Nations. I would like to express once more, from this rostrum, the deep sympathy of the Turkish people and the Turkish Government for the people of Iran in their tragic hour. Turkey immediately extended a helping hand to the Iranian people and hopes that the United Nations will take the most appropriate steps to heal the wounds caused by this tragedy.
