The European Civil Protection Mechanism has informed the Republic of Cyprus that the country’s offer to send a rescue team to quake-stricken Turkey has been accepted by Ankara, Foreign Ministry spokesman Dimitris Demetriou said in a tweet Wednesday.
The death toll from Monday’s quake in Turkey and Syria rose to more than 11,000 Wednesday.
