Turkish foreign ministry has said there were Turkish nationals among those on board the Madleen aid ship, with Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s website indicating there were 12 people from seven countries, including Turkiye, AFP reports.
Two of them hold Turkish passports.
A Turkish foreign ministry source said the boat was “expected to reach land in the evening” and that its consular officials had taken “the necessary initiatives to meet them as soon as they disembark from the ship and to ensure their release”.
“We are also in contact with other countries whose citizens are on board. The families of our citizens are being regularly updated,” the source added.
