travel alert for Turkey as the country is roiled by its military’s attempt to seize control of the country in a coup.
The situation in Turkey remained in flux and many people have taken to the streets to protest, MOFA said, cautioning Taiwanese businesspeople and tourists in Turkey to be aware of their safety and avoid visiting places with big crowds.
Under the MOFA’s four-color system, the lowest level is gray, followed by yellow, then orange and finally red.
A red alert is the highest warning level and advises people to refrain from traveling to the region in question. [FULL STORY]
