Videos shared online showed ships and smaller boats assembled in open waters while Turkish officials, activists and supporters welcomed the flotilla. “The Turkish coast guard and local GSF fleet sailed out to greet us near where the flotilla will anchor off the coast,” activist Alex Colston wrote on X.
