Turkey says 15 sailors kidnapped off Nigeria are free
|
[AlAhram] The Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister said the Mozart's crew were all in good health and would fly back to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
from the Nigerian capital Abuja within days
Turkey on Friday announced the release of 15 sailors kidnapped on a fat merchantman off the coast of Nigeria last month.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the Mozart's crew were all in good health and would fly back to Turkey from the Nigerian capital Abuja within days.
"We are going to repatriate our compatriots," Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by the Anadolu state news agency.
"They are in good health," he said without providing details about the crew's release.
The Mozart had been en route from the Nigeria's economic capital Lagos to Cape Town in South Africa when it was boarded on January 23.
The unidentified gunnies killed an Azerbaijani sailor and maimed several of the Liberian-flagged vessel's crew.
The ship then sailed on to Gabon before contact was officially lost.
President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
 ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
's office said the Ottoman Turkish leader had spoken to the ship's acting captain shortly after the attack to make sure the remaining crew were safe.
The head of the shipping company operating the Mozart told Ottoman Turkish television that the crew would fly home after undergoing health checkups in Nigeria.
Pirate attacks on ships worldwide jumped 20 percent last year driven by a record spate of kidnappings off West Africa, the International Maritime Bureau said last month.
Out of 135 sailors kidnapped globally last year, 130 were recorded in the Gulf of Guinea -- the highest ever number of crew members kidnapped in the area stretching thousands of kilometres (miles) from Senegal
... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees...
