			This order applies only to the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul, not to other U.S. diplomatic posts in Turkey.&nbsp; The Department continues to monitor the effect of these developments on the overall security situation in the country. This replaces the Travel Warning dated October 24, 2016.</p>

			The Governor of Ankara, acting under the authority of the recently-extended state of emergency, and on the basis of reported terrorist threats against cities in Turkey, has banned all demonstrations in Ankara province until November 30.&nbsp;The Department continues to monitor the effects of the ongoing state of emergency; recent terrorist incidents in Ankara, Istanbul, Gaziantep, and throughout the Southeast; recurring threats; visible increases in police or military activities; and the potential for restrictions on movement as they relate to the safety and well-being of U.S. citizens in Turkey.&nbsp; Delays or denial of consular access to U.S. citizens detained or arrested by security forces, some of whom also possess Turkish citizenship, continue.&nbsp;</p>

			Foreign and U.S. tourists have been explicitly targeted by international and indigenous terrorist organizations in Turkey.&nbsp; In the past year, extremists have carried out attacks in France, Belgium, Germany, Mali, Bangladesh, Tunisia, and Turkey.&nbsp; Additional attacks in Turkey at major events, tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centers, places of worship, and transportation hubs, including aviation services, metros, buses, bridges, bus terminals and sea transport, could occur.&nbsp; Extremists have also threatened to kidnap and assassinate Westerners and U.S. citizens.&nbsp; U.S. citizens are reminded to review personal security plans, monitor local news for breaking events, and remain vigilant at all times.</p>

			U.S. Government personnel in Turkey remain subject to travel restrictions in the southeastern provinces of Hatay, Kilis, Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Sirnak, Diyarbakir, Van, Siirt, Mus, Mardin, Batman, Bingol, Tunceli, Hakkari, Bitlis, and Elazig.&nbsp; In particular, the U.S. Mission to Turkey may prohibit movements by its personnel to these areas on short notice for security reasons, including threats and demonstrations.&nbsp; Due to recent acts of violence, such as the August 20 suicide bombing in Gaziantep, the September 12 bombing in Van, and the potential for reprisal attacks due to continued Turkish military activity in Syria, U.S. citizens are urged to defer travel to large, urban centers near the Turkish/Syrian border.&nbsp; Finally, the Government of Turkey has closed its border with Syria.&nbsp; Border crossings from Syria into Turkey are prohibited, even if the traveler entered Syria from Turkey.&nbsp; Individuals seeking emergency medical treatment or safety from immediate danger are assessed on a case by case basis.&nbsp;</p>
