A 5,000-year-old salt cave from the Hittite civilization will start operating to offer therapy to heal asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory illnesses in central Anatolian Cankiri province.

The salt cave facility is arranged to be run by a private firm for 30 years.

In the opening ceremony of the facility Cankiri Governor Vahdettin Ozcan said that multiple projects had been planned for operating the salt cave.

The touristic cave will have several establishments such as conference hall, restaurants and social facilities.
