None of the citizens of Ukraine who are staying in Turkey has been hurt during an attempted military coup in Istanbul, Interfax-Ukraine learned at the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
"According to the information from our embassy and consulate general, none of our citizens was hurt in the attempted military coup in Turkey yesterday," press secretary of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Mariana Betsa told Interfax-Ukraine on Saturday.
She also said that many Ukrainians residing in Turkey tried to leave the country on a flight from Istanbul to Ukraine, but failed to do so due to the closure of the airport.
"Our consulate general is currently placing them in a hotel. Our consuls are working around the clock, they are helping to place them so that they should be safe," Betsa said.
