In connection with the attempted coup in Turkey, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration calls upon the Moldovan citizens who are in the cities of Ankara and Istanbul to avoid the public places, especially in the administrative quarters, and the main arterial roads, IPN reports, quoting a press release of the Ministry.

As the social networking sites on the territory of Turkey are now blocked, the relatives and close persons of those who are in this state can be contacted only by telephone.

All the flights from the Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul were cancelled.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, in concert with the Embassy of Moldova in Ankara and the Consulate General in Istanbul, is monitoring the situation in Turkey and will provide new details when such appear.
