The British Embassy in the Turkish capital of Ankara will close on Friday for the day owing to security reasons, the Foreign Office has said.
Germany temporarily closed its embassy, consular officers and a school on Wednesday amid reports of the possibility of attacks during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha.

“The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all travel to within 10 km of the border with Syria and to the city of Diyarbakir.”
