Turkey on Friday announced the release of 15 sailors kidnapped on a fat merchantman off the coast of Nigeria last month.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the Mozart's crew were all in good health and would fly back to Turkey from the Nigerian capital Abuja within days.
"We are going to repatriate our compatriots," Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by the Anadolu state news agency.
"They are in good health," he said without providing details about the crew's release.
The Mozart had been en route from the Nigeria's economic capital Lagos to Cape Town in South Africa when it was boarded on January 23.
The unidentified gunnies killed an Azerbaijani sailor and maimed several of the Liberian-flagged vessel's crew.
The ship then sailed on to Gabon before contact was officially lost.
