“The Foreign Ministry confirms that in connection with the incoming information about the threat of a terrorist attack, the Swiss representations in Ankara and Istanbul are temporarily closed to the public,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to the interlocutor of the agency, employees of the department are monitoring the situation in Turkey and are in contact with the country's authorities to assess the situation.
The head of the Turkish Interior Ministry, Suleiman Soylu, called the closure of the consulates of a number of European countries in Istanbul amid US statements about the threat of terrorist attacks "psychological warfare."
On January 30, the US Embassy warned the Americans of the danger of terrorist attacks in the center of Istanbul.
Later it was reported that the consulates of Germany and Britain in Istanbul suspended their work due to the threat of terrorist attacks.
