“Our ambassador, along with other colleagues from various countries, was summoned for a conversation at the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” RIA Novosti quotes her.
Sasse clarified that the reason for the call was the closure of the German Consulate General in Istanbul due to terrorist attacks.
According to her, these measures did not affect the rest of the German diplomatic missions located in other cities of Turkey.
On February 1, the British Consulate General in Istanbul announced that it had stopped receiving visitors due to the threat of terrorist attacks in the city center.
