Firefighters rest after trying to out flames in the Bordubet region, near Marmaris, western Turkey, Thursday, June 23, 2022. Water-dropping aircraft from Azerbaijan and Qatar on Friday joined the fight against a wind-stoked wildfire that burned for a fourth day near a popular resort in southwestern Turkey.
