I would follow advice from the foreign office but the military literally taking the power from the police and government and it will probably be violent.


Start looking at your airlines, hotels and insurance's cancellation policies.


I'm meant to be going to Turkey on Tuesday though. How violent?! Will violence go on throughout the whole of Turkey or just in Istanbul or Ankara?

Hope so…*
Worried for everyone in Istanbul *
Those asterisks are so annoying… :redface:*
This might have major implications for ISIS. A new attitude from Turkey towards ISIS might help bring an end to ISIS?

Do you think we would be able to answer such question? This incident happened about hour ago. On top of that still happening. Not even the media knows what the hell is going on. Just stand by and things will start to clear out. The best idea like some people have said. Review your cancellation policy's of your holiday.

It's difficult to tell exactly the extent of what's going to happen but this has the potential to be very very messy.

Fair enough. not enough info atm.

If this goes through, I expect rioting in Germany and France ...
