France on Wednesday said it had closed its embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara and the consulate in Istanbul until further notice for security reasons after canceling events to mark the July 14 Bastille Day holiday.

"The Embassy of France in Ankara, as well as the Consulate General in Istanbul will be closed from Wednesday July 13, 1:00 pm (1000 GMT), until further notice," the embassy said in a statement after scrapping the July 14 receptions at the missions on security grounds.
