The Palestinian embassy in Ankara and the Consulate-General of Palestine in Istanbul are following up on the cases of the missing Palestinians in Turkey, said the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.

The ministry said in a statement quoted by WAFA news agency that the Palestinian embassy has formed a crisis cell to follow up on the issue and reveal the fate of the six Palestinians who went missing in Turkey.

It said contacts are underway with official Turkish agencies to find out the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.

Six Palestinians went missing in Turkey since the beginning of this month; four in Istanbul, one in Konya city, and another near the Turkish-Greek border.
