German embassy, consular offices temporarily close in Turkey
BERLIN – Germany has temporarily closed its embassy, all other consular offices and a school in Turkey, reportedly due to fears of a possible attack.
Germany’s Bild newspaper reported Wednesday that the move was taken as a precaution after the Foreign Ministry learned of rumoured attacks on consular facilities in Turkey during the Eid al-Adha holiday week.
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.
