The British General Consulate is currently closed to the public as a precautionary measure, reported the diplomatic mission in a statement, while it was known that the German federal mission will also remain closed from February 1.

According to the source, there is a threat of terrorist attacks in the area where the representations are located.

Previously, the Consulate of the Netherlands ceased its operational activities for the same reasons, while the embassies of the United States and France also warned their citizens about the possibility of terrorist attacks in Istanbul.
