The US diplomatic mission to Turkey has announced on its website that it is suspending operations in that country for two days. The statement of the US Embassy says:
“Demonstrations or protests may occur following the April 24 White House statement remembering the lives of all those who died in the Ottoman-era Armenian genocide.
As a precautionary measure, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul, the U.S. Consulate in Adana, and the U.S. Consular Agency in Izmir will be closed for routine American Citizen and visa services on Monday, April 26 and Tuesday, April 27. U.S. citizens in need of emergency assistance should contact the closest consular section using the phone numbers and email addresses below.
U.S. citizens are advised to avoid the areas around U.S. government buildings, and exercise heightened caution in locations where Americans or foreigners may gather. Monitor local media for updates.”
