German schools in Turkey closed during Nevruz amid security concerns

A German school operating under the German consulate in Istanbul will be closed on March 21 during the annual Nevruz celebrations due to security concerns after the deadly Istanbul suicide bomb attack on March 19.

According to German media, the decision to send children to nurseries or schools was left to parents until the Easter holiday, which will begin on March 25.
