The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has extended travel bans for six countries, including Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and Afghanistan, and some parts of the Philippines by six months until July 31.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that the decision was made after evaluating that political unrest in these regions, poor security conditions, and the risk of terrorism would continue for a considerable period.



Earlier, in July of last year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs extended the ban on travel to these countries and regions until January 31 of this year.
