The US Department of State has ordered the departure of eligible family members of US diplomats stationed at the US Consulate in Istanbul and issued an updated Travel Warning for Turkey. The Warning cites aggressive efforts by extremists to attack US citizens in areas of Istanbul as the reason for the decision. The Consulate General will remain open and is fully staffed. Drexel currently has no known travelers in Istanbul or in other locations in Turkey.
