Ambassadors from 9 countries were summoned to the Foreign Ministry

Following the security warning issued by the US Embassy on January 27, major European countries made similar statements and decided to temporarily close their consulates in Istanbul, especially around Taksim.

The statements reflected that the security alert was based on “serious and specific” intelligence about a terrorist act that could target foreign missions, churches, synagogues and tourist sites, and cooperated with Turkish authorities.

The Interior Ministry also announced in a statement that the warnings were carefully examined.

Minister Soylu, for her part, accused countries that closed their consulates of using “psychological warfare” against Turkey.
