According to Georgian Ambassador to Turkey Giorgi Janjgava, a Turkish aircraft that evacuated Georgian citizens from the Chinese city of Wuhan landed in Ankara yesterday.

As Janjghava told InterPressNews, Georgian citizens were taken to one of the hospitals in Ankara.

“The plane landed in Ankara at 21:15. There were 42 citizens, including 3 Georgains, 7 Azerbaijani and an Albanian. A few days ago, when we heard that Turkey was going to evacuate it citisens, we asked the Turkish side asssitace and the Turkish side offered us to evacuate our citizens. The second stage is quarantine. It is not an easy task to keep foreign citizens in quarantine for 14 days, but they agreed to this after negotiations were held with the Foreign Ministry and the Turkish Crisis Management Center. Georgian citizens have been taken to one of hospitals in Ankara, they will probably undergo examinations and we will later have more detailed inforamtion,” Janjgava said.
