Anyone know who is causing problems among rescue teams in Turkey?

I have seen articles saying that both German and Austrian teams have pulled back their rescue efforts as the result, but then Austria rescuers continued after having their security guaranteed.

I don't see much information about this and it is very concerning. They need all hands on deck.

Why the trouble?

5. Oh boy. Yah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatay_Province

long history of drama that i surmise remains controversial

there may be a lack of police OR too many guns.

looking forward to more info

7. Thank you.

I can't help but wonder if it has anything to do with Russia or its allies.

2. On-going strife and civil war

bad mix of territorial and religious disputes

4. I get that.

I am puzzled that with all the rescue teams from many countries why it is the Germans and Austrians that have been targeted and not other teams. This is why I am wondering which country is attacking them. There have been shots fired.

8. That's a very good question - Turkey has no reason to refuse any help from anywhere

However the Russians are pissed at the Germans right now, so they might be the ones who are butting in.

I don't have any other guesses. Turkey is a NATO country, and I can't see how Russia would have any say in who provides aid in this dire emergency.

9. I was thinking Russia might be involved.

No mention in the news though. Only that it has happened and seems to be serious enough special security was given to Austria. I'm not sure about whether Germany went home or not.
