Kazakh tourists in Turkey report on continuing quakes
"Earthquakes continue. 4-5 points every 30 minutes. People are panicking. There are no flights. Tomorrow, we, all the hotel guests from Kazakhstan, will go to the tour operator. All vacationers make a bed on deck chairs. Some hotels recommend to be outside the buildings. It's not normal that it shakes so much the second day. Perhaps, Kazakhstan should send a plane for its citizens?" Zarina Abdenova from Bodrum posted on Facebook .
The Kazakh Foreign Ministry's press service told Kazinform correspondent that the diplomats are in touch with Kazakh tourists. "Yes, we know about new shocks, diplomats keep in touch with Kazakhstani citizens who seek help. There has been no information about the injured among the nationals of Kazakhstan by now," the head of the Foreign Ministry press service Anuar Zhainakov said by phone.
Meanwhile, according to the Turkish reports, no new shocks are expected.
