The Turkish Foreign Ministry has issued a warning to its citizens traveling to and inside Egypt, as the unrest in the North African country continues.
Å“Apart from city centers and holiday resorts that have direct flight connections, it is advised that travelers should avoid roads, and citizens should keep away from the venues of protests,” the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The ministry also advised Turkish people in Egypt to contact the Turkish Embassy in Cairo, the Consulate General in Alexandria, or the ministryâ„¢s 24-hour consular call center in case of emergency.
Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was unseated on July 3, and the chief justice of Egyptâ„¢s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, was sworn in as interim president of Egypt on July 4.
Morsi is reportedly being held Å“preventively” by the military. Senior army officials say he might face formal charges over accusations made by his opponents.
Several arrest warrants have been issued for the members of Muslim Brotherhood. Egyptian troops and security forces have recently expanded their roundup of top political figures from Muslim Brotherhood that had fielded Morsi for office.
Tens of people have been killed in the recent clashes between Morsiâ„¢s opponents and supporters. Hundreds of others have also been injured.
Egypt is expecting fresh protests by thousands of supporters and opponents of Morsi as political turmoil rages on in the North African country.
