Ten mountain climbers were killed and several others were trapped under the snow on Sunday after they were caught in an avalanche on Mount Zigana in the province of Gümüşhane, near the Black Sea coast. They were part of a group of around 20 people hit by the slide and were members of a mountaineering club from the nearby province of Trabzon taking part in a snow festival held on the mountain over the weekend. Yesterday's ceremony was attended by State Minister Murat Başesgioğlu, Minister of Public Works and Housing Faruk Nafiz Özak, main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy Chairman Cevdet Selvi, Trabzon Gov. Nuri Okutan, Gümüşhane Gov. Enver Salihoğlu, Trabzon Mayor Volkan Canalioğlu, a number of deputies, army officers and bureaucrats and more than 3,000 local residents. The remains of the
hikers were sent to their hometowns for burial.
