AFP- 16 February 2015 – Turkey on Monday said it was temporarily closing its embassy in Yemen, the latest foreign mission to do so following the takeover of power by Shiite Houthi militiamen.
The foreign ministry said in a statement that the decision had been taken due to the “deterioration in security” in the country.
“We hope that the authority of the state is reestablished in Yemen so that we can resume our diplomatic services in this friendly state.”.
