No Czechs known to be among victims of earthquake disaster

The Czech Embassy in Ankara has not registered any Czech so far among the victims of Monday’s devastating earthquake. According to the Czech Ambassador to Turkey Pavel Vacek, there is currently one Czech woman unaccounted for in Adiyaman province, where a team of Czech rescuers is now deployed.

The embassy assisted a group of six Czechs who were in the country on business and were in Kahramanmaraş province when the earthquake struck on Monday. The group is already on their way to Ankara and will leave for Czechia on Wednesday.
