STOCKHOLM, July 26(Greenpost)–“The situation in Turkey is serious and continues to be of great concern.” said Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven. ” The military coup appears to have failed but the situation still doesn’t seem to be completely under the control of the Turkish Government.”

“I understand that many Swedes in Turkey are worried and afraid in these uncertain circumstances. The Swedish Government is working with the relevant authorities to ensure that you can feel safe and secure. At this point in time, we have no information regarding Swedish casualties, but those who are in the country are urged to contact their families and keep themselves updated”.

The Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ advice against all unnecessary travel to Turkey remains in place.
