The event was originally supposed to take place in Hatay, but due to the proximity of the Syrian border and the escalation in the region, FIDE called a force majeure and asked for a new venue.

The Boys Section will have 117 participants, including 10 GM, 26 IM and 19 FM. Local player Alexander Ipatov will defend last year's title.
