ANKARA, 15 June 2022, (TON): Turkey is a safe country, its foreign ministry said “after Israeli authorities urged their citizens to leave over fears of Iranian attacks.”
In an indirect response that did not mention Israel, the ministry noted some countries had issued travel warnings.
The statement said “Turkey is a safe country and continues to fight against terrorism.”
It added “these travel warnings are considered to be related to different international developments and motives.”
Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Monday urged citizens in Turkey to leave “as soon as possible” over threats that Iranian operatives were planning attacks on Israelis in Istanbul.
He said there was a real and immediate danger from Iranian agents.
