ANKARA, Turkey—Turkey’s relations with Greece and Armenia have long been characterized by mutual animosity. However, the twin earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, which left tens of thousands dead and caused widespread destruction, have led to an outpouring of solidarity from both Athens and Yerevan.
The expressions of solidarity—which have included aid shipments and volunteer rescue teams—could pave the way for diplomatic breakthroughs with two of Turkey’s historical foes, according to Turkish political analyst Talha Kose.
