Ankara: German diplomatic missions and a school in Turkey were closed on Thursday for security reasons, the German consulate in Istanbul said, less than a week after a suicide car bomb attack that killed 35 people in the capital.

The measure concerns the German embassy in Ankara as well as the consulate and German school in Istanbul, it said on its website.
