try to keep away from Van and Erciş.So many rescue teams,ministers and authorities there with private guards and crowded committees..
1-road through erciş is closed.(north of van lake)
2-road through gevaş is closed several hours per day due to consruction works.
(south of van lake)
But if you will be in this area certainly, we recommend you to take the ferry from van to tatvan which also carries trains.From tatvan follow the muş,bingöl,elazığ, malatya main road. Never stop anywhere except city centers.Also so many trucks carrying goods to eartquaked areas, erciş and van towns.Attention to icy and slippery roads.
Been there all last week..Thats why Doğubeyazıt entrance from İran is highly recommended.
Lets keep in touch.If you remind about dec.5-6, we will give you the current situation.
Best wishes
