US State Department released a statement which advices US citizens
not to visit Turkey in this days. The statement especially says:
"The U.S. Department of State alerts U.S. citizens traveling to or
residing in Turkey to the continuing public demonstrations taking
place throughout the country. There have been numerous reports of
violence, injuries, and at least two confirmed deaths resulting from
or related to clashes between protestors and Turkish law enforcement
authorities. U.S. citizens are urged to remain alert to local security
developments and to be vigilant regarding their personal security.
This Travel Alert expires on July 5, 2013.
Violent altercations have occurred in areas of Ankara, Istanbul,
Izmir, Adana, Mersin, and elsewhere. The Turkish National Police and
protestors continue to clash in some locations. Individuals caught in
the vicinity of violence have been injured and/or detained, including
U.S. citizens. Labor organizations have announced plans for strikes.
U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Turkey should be alert to
the potential for violence. We strongly urge U.S. citizens to avoid
demonstrations and large gatherings. Even demonstrations intended to
be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. There
have been no direct attacks on U.S. citizens.
Review your personal security plans, remain aware of your
surroundings, including local events, and monitor local news media
for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance, take appropriate
steps to enhance your personal security, and follow instructions of
local authorities.
We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens and nationals traveling to or
residing in Turkey enroll in the State Department's Smart Traveler
Enrollment Program (STEP). U.S. citizens and nationals without
Internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or
consulate. Enrolling signs you up to receive updated information about
areas abroad and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or consulate to
communicate with you or your designated contact in case of emergency".
