DİYARBAKIR - Anatolia News Agency

Many Yemeni citizens wish to visit Turkey and see the beauties of the country, the Yemeni Tourism Minister Motahhar Taki said yesterday.

Speaking to the Anatolia news agency in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır, where he arrived to attend the “First International Health Tourism Congress,” Taki said Yemen wanted the Turkish Airlines, Turkey’s national flag carrier, to increase its weekly flights both to and from Yemen to more than four times a week.

Taki said he had a chance to visit several Turkish hospitals and he personally noticed how advanced healthcare and thermal facility services were in Turkey.

He said that Turkish health teams should go to Yemen so that Yemeni patients will be treated inexpensively.

Touching on the popularity of the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Taki said that the Yemeni people love Erdoğan. Erdoğan has a unique character and our people admire him, he said.
