Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Türkiye to Mongolia Zafer Ateş said, "I am expressing my gratitude to the Mongolians, the Government of Mongolia, the administration of Ulaanbaatar city, and the staff of One Team NGO, who are providing assistance in difficult times. There is good news that the rescue team sent from Mongolia saved the lives of eight precious people in 10 days of work.
