According to him, tourists ascending Mount Tahtaly by cable car were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected natural phenomenon and admired the views that opened up.

He also reported that technical inspection of the cable facilities with the participation of Turkish and Swiss specialists was recently completed. Currently, the facility is operating at full capacity and is ready to welcome all visitors.
