The Turkish government confirmed the data on the release of its citizens, reports Reuters with reference to Al Jazeera.

The “Unity and Jihad” group announces that it releases Turkish hostages for the benefit of Turkey’s Muslims and for their demonstrations against George Bush , ”said the militant in the mask on the video shown by the TV channel.“ We will return these people to a safe place, as they vowed not to help the infidels. ”
