Currently the company's offices do not provide a free refund of purchased tickets.
In addition to Turkmenistan, Turkish Airlines has also resumed flights to some other countries.
Earlier, Turkish Airlines extended the suspension of flights to Turkmenistan until July 20 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
