Deadly Earthquake Warms Relations Between Greece and Turkey

Anthee Carassava

   ATHENS - Rescue teams on both sides of the Aegean Sea searched Saturday
   through crushed buildings and concrete rubble, pulling out at least 27
   dead and hundreds more injured after a powerful earthquake toppled
   buildings in the Turkish city of İzmir and created sea surges on at
   least two Greek islands.

   At least 60 separate aftershocks have jolted the Greek islands of Samos
   and Ikaria since the deadly 7.0 earthquake hit the region, experts in
   Athens said Saturday.
