Hollywood action star Jean-Claude Van Damme visited Turkey a few days ago, and was informed about the earthquake in Van province. Van Damme posted a message on his fan page, adressing the Turkish people. This is what he had to say:

"Days ago, I was visiting your beautiful country, and it made me so sad to hear the news about the earthquake that hit Van City. I am deeply sorry for your loss and I just want to say that I believe in the strength of Turkish people and I pray that you will pass this tragedy through your faith and strength.

Please stay strong. All my prayers go for you."

As of now, Van Damme along with other action superstars is busy filming one of the most expected films, a sequel to 2010 Sylvester Stallone blockbuster "Expendables".

In the meantime, death toll as a result of the devastating earthquake, which hit the Turkish southeast Van Province on Oct. 23, has reached 500 plus people.

Previously, 481 people were reported to die as a result of tremors, which forced 7.2 on the Richter scale. Local seismologists predict that the death toll can climb to 500-1,000 people.
