US aprons provide visas in Turkey

The diplomatic representation of the United States in Turkey has suspended visa issuance for non-immigrants.

'The recent events have led the United States to reassess the Turkish mission for mission and staff security,' according to a statement from the diplomatic mission in the Turkish capital Ankara.

The decision follows after a Turkish employee of the US Consulate in Istanbul was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of espionage and the membership of the movement of Muslim-led Fethullah Gülen. Turkey is held responsible for the coup in July 2016.
