Trabzon – The Caucasian Muslim pilgrims were eventually freed from trouble on Wednesday after they had to wait stranded for days in Trabzon, a Black Sea city of Turkey, because navigation to Sochi was temporarily not available during the Christmas holidays.
A group of 650 Muslim pilgrims that had in it Chechens, Ingushes and Dagestanis boarded ships bound for Sochi on Wednesday night.
Some pilgrims boarded the Princes Victoria ship, which had arrived in Trabzon the day before. The body of Khalid Aliyev, a Chechen Muslim pilgrim, was also sent on the same ship three days after he died of a heart attack. Other pilgrims went to Sochi after they boarded two separate ferryboats, called Eurasia and Erke. (Agency Caucasus)
