Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on Dec. 14 replied to a tweet shared from the account of a seven-year-old Syrian girl Bana Alabed, who has attracted the world’s attention while tweeting from war-torn Aleppo.

“Sir @MevlutCavusoglu we had hope yesterday, but what’s happening now? Please help us now. No more time left. Thank you. - Fatemah #Aleppo,” a tweet posted by Bana’s mother said on the collapse of a recent ceasefire.

“Keep your hope my sister. Turkey hears your call. We work hard to end the nightmare you and many children in Syria are going through,” Çavuşoğlu replied.
