ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek and Tlirk res
cuers found themselves working side-by-side
yesterday for the second time in less than .a
month despite the historical animosity between
the two nations. The death toll from Tuesday’s
earthquake in Athens rose above 60.
A 20-member Turkish team was the first for
eign unit to reach the city’s most battered areas.
As hundreds of people looked on, they joined
Greeks slowly chipping through concrete at a
collapsed cleaning products factory in search of
30 workers trapped underneath.
“It is good,” Iskender Eigeir, part of the Turk
ish team of rescuers and doctors, said “This is
the second time we meet the Greeks. Now it is
our turn.”
TUrks praised Greece for the quick and ex
tensive help following the giant earthquake in
Turkey Aug. 17 that claimed more than 15,000
lives. Their teamwork caused political leaders
on both sides of the Aegean Sea to reassess their
political positions. The two nations have near
ly gone to war three times in the past 25 years
over territorial efisputes.
More bodies than survivors were dragged
from under sharp-edged slabs of concrete yes
terday, and dozens of other people were re
ported missing in working-class apartment
blocks and Gypsy camps.
Officials said at least 61 people died and more
than 2,000 were injured from Tuesday’s magni
tude 5.9 quake — many by falling glass or debris
as they raced from homes and offices.

Inspectors began assessing fractured build
ings that could leave thousands homeless.
Archeologists began trying to salvage some
items toppled at the National Archaeological Mu
seum and undertook the painstaking review of
the ancient artifacts. The museum will be closed
