ISTANBUL (AA) - The bodies of four Turkish sailors, who died on two ships which caught fire in the Kerch Strait, arrived on Monday in Istanbul by plane.

Relatives of sailors waiting to take the bodies that were brought from Moscow to Istanbul Ataturk Airport, expressed their anger at the shipping company.

The ships caught fire on Jan. 21 while passing through the Kerch Strait -- separating Crimea from mainland Russia -- killing 10 out of 32 members of the crew.
