Currently, measures are taken to extinguish the fire.
Turkish media are convinced that this is a terrorist attack organized by Kurdish militants, who do not hide threats also with regard to the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline.
The terrorist attacks are a response of the Kurds to the Turkish army fighting against the Kurdish troops on the border with Syria. -16D-
