Friendship over TimePart 1On March 17th, 1985, during the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq suddenly announced, “Forty-eight
hours from now, we will shoot down any airplane flying over Iran.” Foreign people in Iranbegan to return home in a hurry on the airlines of their home countries.

Unfortunately, at thattime, there was no regular airline service between Iran and Japan.
(a)TheJapanese embassy in Iran made every effort to get seats on foreign airlines.

However, the airlines gave top priority to the people of their home countries and refused toaccept the Japanese passengers. More than 200 Japanese people were left in Iran. Just when
they were losing hope of going back home, the Japanese embassy received a phone call that said,“Turkish Airlines will offer special seats for the Japanese people left in Iran.” Two planes
from Turkey appeared in the sky and helped the Japanese out of Iran. There was one hour andfifteen minutes left before (b)the deadline.
The next day the Japanese media reported the rescue as headline news. However, they
did not know (c)the real reason why Turkey saved those Japanese at the risk of being shot down.
The Turkish ambassador to Japan explained later, “One of the reasons is that the Turkish havegood feelings toward the Japanese. This is because of the (d)Ertugrul accident in 1890.”
What was the Ertugrul accident? It happened in Japan in the Meiji era.
Part 2On September 16th, 1890, a strong typhoon hit Oshima Island, Wakayama.

Stormy winds

began to blow against Kashinozaki Lighthouse, which stood on a steep cliff at the eastern edgeof the island. That night, (e)a big man rushed into the lighthouse keepers’ room. He was allwet, covered with blood, and clearly not a Japanese. The keepers soon understood that anaccident had happened at sea.
“Whose ship are you on? How many crew members do you have?”“・・・・・・・”

The keepers couldn’t make themselves understood in Japanese. So, they took out a bookwhich had pictures of national flags in it. The injured man slowly pointed at the red flag witha white crescent moon and a star in its center.
“This flag ... Turkey!”
With gestures, the Turkish man told them that the ship had sunk, and all the crew had been
thrown into the sea. He had managed to swim to the beach and climb up the cliff.

Thevillagers, who heard of the accident from the lighthouse keepers, quickly began to (f)rescue theother crew members. But it was dangerous work in the dark. Some villagers pulled theinjured crew members up from the cliff by rope. Others climbed up the steep cliff, carrying thelarge Turkish people on their shoulders. After that, they took their clothes off and, with theirbodies, warmed the survivors shivering with cold.
Part 3The name of the Turkish ship was the Ertugrul. It was an old-fashioned wooden warshipwith over 600 crew members. The accident happened on their way from Yokohama to Kobe.
There were only 69 survivors. If the villagers had not helped them, almost all the crew would
have lost their lives.
Although the poor villagers did not have enough food for themselves, they offered theirprecious rice and sweet potatoes to the survivors. Even the women and children gave theirown clothes to the naked crew members.

(g)When they ran out of food, the villagers even gavethem the chickens which were kept as food in case of emergency.
Although the villagers did not know any Turkish at all, they encouraged the injured
survivors in Japanese and took care of them for three days.

The Turkish people thanked thevillagers with all their hearts and kept the kindness of the villagers in their minds.
Part 4
Early on the morning of September 20th, a German warship arrived at Oshima to take thesurvivors to Kobe. Just past noon they were seen off by the villagers, who had taken care ofthem until just a few minutes before.
“Arrive home safely!”“Good-bye!”

All the crew that could walk on their own came onto the deck.

They waved good-bye tothe villagers until the port was out of sight. After a three-week stay in Kobe, the 69 Turkish
survivors left Japan for their home on two Japanese warships on October 11th, 1890. They
arrived safely in Turkey on January 2nd, 1891. A lot of Japanese people learned about theaccident through the newspapers and sent money to the families of the dead crew members.
Now we understand why the Turkish government decided to rescue the Japanese people
during the Iran-Iraq War.

(h)The Ertugrul story has been passed on for generations in Turkeyand its people keep a strong friendship with the Japanese.

The Ertugrul brought Japan andTurkey together. The bridge between the two countries has been built up over time.
