Further rallies, increased security, related disruptions likely in Kayseri, Turkiye, through early July after unrest on June 30.
Further protests, tightened security, and related disruptions are likely in Kayseri through early July following recent unrest. On June 30, protests erupted in various areas, including Danisment Gazi, Melikgazi, Osmanli, and Selcuklu, after a foreigner allegedly harassed a minor. The incidents have left 10 police officers injured, as well as several vehicles and retail spaces damaged.
Authorities will likely maintain an increased security presence in the affected areas and could expand their operations to additional regions depending on operational needs. Further gatherings of varying types are possible. Potential rally sites include government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares. Anticipated participation levels remain unclear. Clashes between police and activists are possible. Further isolated security incidents, including arson, cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport and business disruptions are probable.
Exercise increased caution if operating in or near Kayseri over the coming days. As a precaution, avoid any demonstration that materializes. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport and business disruptions. Carry proper identification documents at all times. Maintain contact with your diplomatic missions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
