Macedonia's First Lady Maya Ivanov told AA correspondent that a children's ER was needed in the capital and they had started an aid drive. She said TIKA became their biggest supporter.
Ivanov said a letter from TIKA arrived at the presidency saying that Turkey would give a big support to the project. "That letter coming from a good and loyal friend of Macedonia became an answer to all our questions," said Ivanov adding that the 55,000 euros, the amount that was needed for the establishment of the service, would be provided by TIKA.
TIKA official in Skopje, Mahmut Cevik said they would not only build the service but also provide all the needs.
