Alanya, 5 August: Gunhan Sarikaya, governor of southern port town of Alanya, said on Friday [5 August] that Alanya port is a secure one, where all ships dock safely.

Replying to the questions of the Anatolia correspondent about diversion of two Israeli cruise ships from Alanya port, Sarikaya said that those Israeli cruise ships were expected to come to Alanya today but they were re-routed.

'However, it does not mean that Alanya is not a safe port,' he stressed."
