Ankara bans public gatherings due to 'terror alert'

Turkey's capital Ankara has banned all public gatherings and demonstrations until the end of November after receiving information about "potential terror attacks".

The Ankara governorate said in a statement on Monday that all such meetings had been prohibited until November 30, in line with the state of emergency imposed in the wake of a failed coup attempt on July 15.

It said that the decision was taken "to ensure people's safety and public order".
