| Germany urges its citizens to leave Turkey |
| 2016-03-17 |
| Germany has urged its citizens to leave Turkey due to the threat of new terrorist attacks in this country, said the message from German embassy in Turkey. Earlier, Germany’s Federal Foreign Office urged the country’s citizens not to travel to Turkey. Moreover, the Federal Foreign Office recommended the country’s citizens, who are currently in Turkey, to avoid crowded places. Turkish police have recently warned that the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist group plans to commit a series of terror attacks in the country’s large cities from March 20 to March 30. |

| #4 The French post the same advice as the Germans. Caution and avoid certain areas. Urging Germans to leave Turkey would be quite a thing. I bet there are currently more than 100000 Germans vacationing in Turkey and Easter holidays start on Saturday. |

| #1 This is NOT true. There is no statement to leave Turkey nor a warning not to travel to Turkey. The German Foreign Office warns of travels to the Turkish region bordering Syria and asks to exercise caution in the rest of the country. |
