Following the airstrikes carried out by Israel on Iran, Turkish citizens in Iran began to enter Turkey through the Esendere Border Gate in Hakkari. As tensions increased, queues formed at gas stations in Iran.
Due to the tension between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran, several cities were hit as a result of airstrikes carried out by Israel on Iran, which shares a border with Turkey. Turkish citizens who were in Iran for business and tourism purposes have started their entry procedures into Turkey through the Esendere Border Gate in the Yüksekova district of Hakkari.
TURKISH CITIZENS HAVE LEFT IRAN
Israel launched attacks early in the morning on the Natanz nuclear facility in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and the cities of Lorestan and Kermanshah. Following this incident, despite it being an official holiday in Iran, long queues at gas stations drew attention, while Turkish citizens entered Turkey through the Esendere border gate. The lack of congestion at the Esendere border gate did not go unnoticed.
"WE RETURNED FROM IRAN"
Zeki Gürdal, who said that this tension would end soon, stated, "We are coming from the city of Urmia. We learned this morning that Israel has attacked Iran. It is a situation we do not approve of. We returned from Iran and entered Turkey. I saw that there were vehicle queues at gas stations. I hope this tension ends completely in a short time," he said.
