ISTANBUL: The British government has shut its embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara on Friday for security reasons, the Foreign and Commonwealth ****** said on its website, without giving further details.
"The British Embassy Ankara will be closed to the public on Friday 16 September for security reasons," the foreign ****** said late on Thursday.
The embassy had been closed from Monday to Thursday for the Eid-ul-Azha holiday this week, one of the two most important festivals of the Islamic calendar.
Turkey has been repeatedly targeted in the past by militants.
A suicide bomber at a wedding in the southeastern city of Gaziantep last month killed more than 54 people, including 22 children, the deadliest such bombing this year.
That attack is believed to have been carried out by Daesh militants.
The Foreign and Commonwealth ****** also advised Britons against travel to within 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) of the Syrian border and to Diyarbakir, the largest city in the mainly Kurdish southeast, which has been hit by waves of violence since the end of a ceasefire between the state and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) last year.
