Foreign Ministry warns against holidays in Turkey

The Foreign Ministry has issued a directive that Polish holidaymakers should avoid travelling to south-eastern Turkey.

“As a result of hostilities on the Turkish-Syrian and Turkish-Iraqi borders as well as instability in other parts of south-eastern Turkey, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that Polish citizens refrain from traveling in those regions of the country. People staying there temporarily should consider leaving and those in permanent residence should exercise caution,” the Foreign Ministry said.

According to the Foreign Ministry, those visiting popular tourist resorts on the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas should be watchful and follow instructions given by local authorities.

Tourists are also warned against travelling to countries such as Tunisia and Egypt.
