Turkish President Abdullah Gul is set to go to the southern province of Hatay's Reyhanlı district on May 16 to make investigations into the terrorist attack that killed 51 Turkish citizens in the border town on May 11 . Hurriyetdailynews reported
The trip will be Gul's first to the district, which borders Syria, since the attacks.
