The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office provides advice about risks of travel to help British nationals make informed decisions. The government department regularly updates its advice for travel to any of 226 nations and territories in a bid to help people make informed decisions and stay safe, and on Wednesday evening, the FCDO issued a new alert to anyone with plans to visit Turkey.
The FCDO issued advice against "all but essential travel" to the two specific areas in the country. A spokesperson added: "The FCDO advises against all travel to within 10km of the border with Syria due to fighting and a heightened risk of terrorism". Attacks could be indiscriminate including in places visited by foreigners, such as public buildings, places of worship, airports and large public gatherings . There have been multiple attacks in the country since 2022. Seven lives have been lost following incidents in central Istanbul, Sariyer and, more recently, on the Çağlayan courthouse.
