Around 5 million Turkish nationals live in European countries. Every summer, thousands of Turks living in Germany or other European countries spend their summer holidays in their home country.
As the country observes the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, many people in Turkey have taken highways to spend the vacation with their families or at coastal resorts.
