German Embassy, other offices in Turkey closed temporarily amid reports on fears of attack
By Trend
Germany has temporarily closed its embassy, all other consular offices and a school in Turkey, reportedly due to fears of a possible attack, Hurriyet reported.
Germany's Bild newspaper reported on Sept. 9 that the move was
taken as a precaution after the Foreign Ministry learned of rumored
attacks on consular facilities in Turkey during the Eid al-Adha
holiday week.
The German Embassy in Ankara said on its official twitter account
that the services at all German representative facilities in Turkey
would provide limited service as meetings were cancelled until
Sept. 16. It gave no further details.
The Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the Bild report, but
confirmed that its embassy in Ankara and other consular offices
were closed to the public during the holiday week of Sept. 12-16,
The Associated Press said.
