Yeah why does it surprise you? Unlike French and Germans we were always good with the Jews and other peoples in need.

Government donation of €30,000...did he buy a Honda Civic for them?

Good trick, impressing the liberal West and build relations with the East and Israel.

I bet that the next Durkish donation would be €20 for Ukrainian FEMEN

Those donations were always made for good will over years. Unlike Greeks we do not do anything to impress anyone. It was probably made from consulate budget not government.
