The Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) head's comments came after CIA Director William Burns in a CBS News interview described the high-level meeting between the two as "pretty dispiriting" and accused his Russian counterpart of displaying "a very defiant attitude" and "a sense of cockiness and hubris" during the negotiations.

"We have just confirmed this today," Kristersson told Swedish public television broadcaster SVT on Wednesday, without specifying the date for such talks. Turkey has postponed a trilateral meeting with Sweden and Finland on their NATO bids slated for February following the burning of a copy of the Quran in Stockholm, Xinhua news agency reported.

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu also said 213 people had been injured. Turkey's disaster and emergency agency Afad said the tremor occurred at 20:04 local time (17:04 GMT), the BBC reported. A 7.8-magnitude quake struck the same area on February 6, killing more than 44,000 people in Turkey and Syria.

The 16-year-old earthquake victim was playing ping-pong with newly acquainted friends who are also from the disaster zone in a relief center of the capital city Ankara's Mamak district. The center is part of a residential complex of flats that is now home to around 3,500 earthquake survivors.

"This understanding of cooperation can contribute to our ongoing normalization process," Cavusoglu said at a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan in the Turkish capital Ankara, Xinhua news agency reported. Cavusoglu also thanked Armenia for sending search and rescue teams to save quake victims and delivering humanitarian aid immediately after Turkey was rocked by the strong tremors.

"At least 35,418 people have been killed in the twin quakes and 13,208 injured are still receiving treatment in our hospitals," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying Anadolu News Agency. Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) said 195,962 people have been evacuated.

The material included rations & medicines from Government of India as well as contributions from the international community. "#IndianArmy team deployed in @UNDOF delivers relief material to Aleppo, #Syria. This included rations & medicines from Government of #India as well as contributions from the international community," Additional Directorate General of Public Information.

Relief Aids continue to pour in the affected countries from various quarters. According to Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD), 99 countries have offered assistance so far and seven more countries are expected to send rescue teams, Anadolu News Agency reported.

"Flights from Israel to Turkey will resume in two days. Three of our main carriers will start flights," Cohen said at a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in the Turkish capital of Ankara, Xinhua News Agency reported. "We will definitely warm the important relations between your important and beautiful country and Israel," he added.

The catastrophe may also have an impact on international relations. Countries at odds with Turkey and Syria have rallied in solidarity with the two quake-hit countries, sending batches of aid and rescue teams, Xinhua news agency reported. However, it's unclear whether this dynamic will continue when the disaster has passed or whether new understandings and bridges will be established.
