Turkey to provide coronavirus vaccines to African countries

"We will also provide vaccine assistance to African countries by testing and launching the TURKOVAC vaccine," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at the Turkish-African Economic and Business Forum.

"In the current difficult situation, we cannot accept the vaccine as a mere material benefit. We express the unique place of Africa in our hearts at every opportunity. We appreciate the fact that Africa treats us with the same sincerity," he added.
