Meanwhile, drivers and residents traveling on the Ahlat-Tatvan road stopped by the shores of Lake Van, which had turned brown due to the floodwaters, to watch the unusual sight.
Local resident Yunus Nazlı stated that it was the first time he had witnessed such a scene, with the lake appearing in different shades of red and blue.
Nazlı said, "Lake Van has turned red with the rainwater. We've never seen such a scene before. We stopped and filmed it."
