Russian Ambassador Alexey Erkhov complained about “adventure seekers” among tourists in Turkey. “Well, pray tell, why go out on hiking trails alone, especially in unfavorable weather conditions?” — the diplomat said in a conversation with RIA Novosti.

In January, the Russian Consulate General in Antalya confirmed the death of Russian citizen Nadezhda Yarygina. Last June, a Russian tourist died in the center of Istanbul after a conflict.
