Turkey is burning! It continues to struggle with fires in 19 different regions. It was stated that these fires were started deliberately and a detailed investigation was started for this. Fires usually occur in areas close to tourist attractions. It is said that these attacks were carried out by the Pkk. For this reason, they announced that they hit 40 Pkk positions simultaneously with forest fires. On the other hand, fires cannot be brought under control because Turkey's firefighters are not active. More than 70 forest fires broke out simultaneously in 17 different regions. People carry water to put out fires with firefighters. Ukraine and Azerbaijan announced that they would send support to Turkey. It was stated that they rented 16 firefighting planes and 3 helicopters from Russia due to Turkey's inability to use firefighting planes actively.
