France shuts missions over security threat in Turkey.



Threat of terror attacks has now spread around the whole word. Almost every country is facing this torment of terrorism. Similarly, Turkey has also gone through such terror attacks at their international airport in last month. It has spread tension among all the citizens and foreigners in Turkey.

By considering all these troubles, France has temporarily shuts its mission in Turkey. The embassy of France has released statement on Wednesday, “The Embassy of France in Ankara, as well as the Consulate-General in Istanbul, will be closed from Wednesday July 13, 1pm (10:00 GMT), until further notice”.

French consul to Istanbul Muriel Domenach has also written on Twitter that all the events have been called off in affected Turkish cities "for security reasons" and France is in contact with the Turkish authorities. Just before that, the Istanbul consulate had also sent an email message to all the French citizens across Turkey and clearly mentioned that there had been "concurring information of a serious threat against the organization of the July 14 celebrations in Turkey".

France has also cancelled the reception of Bastille Day - or French National Day at these missions just a day before this announcement. This can’t be taken lightly by any of them as security of officials and common people can’t be neglected easily. So, they called off all the receptions at these missions.

Turkey is one of the victims of ISIS terror attacks. Dreadful attack held in Turkey on 28 June had taken away lives of almost 50people and caused terror among all the people across the world. People are hoping that ISIS will surely meet its consequences one day.

Authorities of Turkey have become more efficient after this deadly attack and are keeping over every single suspect. They have arrested at least 40 suspects till now. As per media reports, few of the suspects are Turkish and others belong to foreign countries.

Not only France, but many other countries like Germany and United States had also shut down their missions for short span in Turkey after all these dreadful attacks. These decisions have taken on temporary basis till Turkey considered being safe.
