The Turkish Republic tops global humanitarian aid ( Archived) (8)

London report confirms Turkey's
"power of humanitarian policy"

Turkey topped the 2017 list of countries delivering humanitarian assistance with $8.07 billion, according to the report by
the Global Humanitarian Assistance Programme of “Development Initiatives” of London.

"the power of Turkey’s humanitarian diplomacy, implemented without discrimination, is once again confirmed globally"

The June 19 report said
The Turkish Republic ($8.07 billion)
the U.S. ($6.68 billion)
Germany ($2.99 billion)
the U.K. ($2.52 billion)
and the European Union ($2.24 billion) follow Turkey.

"The report states that Turkey has preserved her leading position with a 0.85 percent ratio between its national income and humanitarian assistance, as the
"THE MOST GENEROUS NATION' IN THE WORLD""
Norway and Luxembourg follow Turkey’s lead with a ratio of 0.17 percent,"
the Foreign Ministry statement said.

"Turkey is determined to continue its humanitarian policies for the benefit of all humanity,"

In addition to its global humanitarian works worldwide, Turkey also hosts nearly
3.6 million Syrian refugees..

The Turkish Republic was the most charitable nation in 2017 with nearly $8.1 billion spent in humanitarian aid, an independent international development organization said.

Almost 30 percent of all international humanitarian aid, $27.3 billion, came from The Turkish Republic, according to the Development Initiative's (DI) Global Humanitarian Assistance Report.

The U.S., Germany and the U.K. followed Turkey with $6.68 billion, $2.98 billion and $2.52 billion.

The country's humanitarian aid expenditures were nearly 1 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017. Turkey's GDP was around $850 billion in 2017, with the U.S. more than $19 trillion, Germany at $3.8 trillion and the U.K. at $2.6 trillion.

Turkey was ranked third in the DI report for 2013, 2014 and 2015 and second on the list after the U.S. in 2016 with $6.3 billion spent in aid. It also hosts the highest number of refugees, 3.9 million, in the world, according to official figures. The number of Syrian refugees living in the country was 3.6 million as of May.

Although it is struggling for economic growth while trying to join the league of developed countries after recovering from years of economic mismanagement, Turkey is determined to earmark more for humanitarian aid. Under Justice and Development Party (AK Party) governments, humanitarian assistance efforts gained momentum, and the country's aid agencies rose to prominence for aid in disasters and assistance to refugees. The country's efforts allowed it to host the World Humanitarian Summit, a first-of-its-kind summit by the United Nations to coordinate humanitarian efforts.

State-run Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) leads Turkey's global outreach in humanitarian aid.

TIKA oversees projects from the Middle East to Latin America, from construction of hospitals to vocational training for disadvantaged communities among other means of development aid.

The Turkish Red Crescent also raised its profile in the international community with its increasing presence in humanitarian aid efforts.

The charity is involved in aid efforts from setting up refugee camps to delivering food packages in conflict zones and disaster-hit regions across the globe.

No, I'm serious.

Tell me about this "wall" in Europe you talked about several times.

Maybe I'm mistaking?
Anything is possible.

There was... The Berlin Wall...
No longer. (Assume you know that)

The Iron Curtain.... That of course wasn't a physical wall.

So....
I'm just curious.

Pfffff

I wish the trolls would stop trolling me and threads.

The Turkish Empire

Has a nice ring to it.

Fine by me.

You can be both though.

Rome was a Republic and a Great Empire.

Of course the TURKS are descendants from the great empire of Rome.

Rome.
Byzantine.
Turkish.

If you look at history you will see.

Thanks for the input (even though you never reply to me directly)

On a different note.

I do like your posts (most of them)
Doesn't mean I agree with them (sometimes do) I like your posts because they are interesting.

So I want to ask for your honest opinion.

What you make of the "people" that troll me.(think you can see who they are)

And what you think of my threads and posts?

I ask especially you this because you have your own opinion and can think for yourself.

Thanks for your reply in advance.
