Summary:A Turkish admiral on January 19 persuaded the hi-jackers holding about 200 hostages on the ferry Avrasya to anchor at a Black Sea cove near the Bosphorus strait for a probable peaceful end to the four-day ordeal. Hi-jack gang leader Muhammet Tokcan told Admiral Taner Uzunay in a radio conversation that he would bring the vessel into the Soganadasi cove despite previous objections to the site.
