Turkey bringing home over 3,600 of its citizens from Europe
Turkey is bringing home more than 3,600 of its citizens who have been stranded in nine European countries after Turkey suspended flights to 20 destinations over the coronavirus outbreak.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says that the citizens will be returned to Turkey later in the day, on board 34 Turkish Airlines flights.
He says the returnees will be placed in quarantine for 14 days in Istanbul and in the nearby city of Kocaeli.
