The United States authorities on Thursday, September 25, asked their citizens to refrain from tourist and any other trips to Turkey, due to the greatly increased danger of becoming victims of terrorist acts and aggression from Islamists.
US officials believe that there is a high risk of violent actions against foreigners by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) militants in Turkey, particularly in its eastern and southeastern provinces.
Analysts predict possible terrorist attacks on civilians in Turkey, and especially on US citizens, provoked by the start of massive American air strikes on ISIS militant positions in Syria and Iraq.
