On Tuesday, in a terrorist attack at the airport Ataturk in Istanbul killed 41 people and 239 wounded. Three suicide bombers peeled as their objective the third largest airport in Europe in terms of passenger numbers (after London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport), which serves more than 60 million people a year. From here you can fly to 113 countries.

It seems that the attack is the Islamic State.

- We will forcefully continue the fight against terrorism, to the very end - this sentence President Recep Tayyip Erdogan He speaks almost after every attack. In less than a year in bombings in Turkey killed more than 250 people. Bombers were on target, among others, popular tourist place - in January this year, around the Blue Mosque in Istanbul in March Istiklal Caddesi, elegant promenade of Istanbul, and the main square Kizilay in Ankara.

Tourists are increasingly asking themselves whether to give up the trip to Turkey for safety reasons?

"East Turkey begins to resemble Syria"

A year ago, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned its citizens that the aim of the attacks can become the metro and bus stops in Istanbul and the British Foreign Ministry appealed to the British to not use public transport in Turkey. Currently, the Polish Foreign Ministry warns against traveling to Turkey, recommending "especially careful while in urban areas and tourist centers, including avoiding any meetings in public places and refrain from journeys in areas south-east of Turkey."

in July last year broke the truce between the Turkish authorities and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), in force since March 2012. Commentators on the Turkish political scene agree that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wished to win the sympathy of nationalists and weaken quotations Kurdish Peoples democratic Party (HDP), which last year for the first time got into parliament, defeating the unusually high 10 percent. electoral threshold.

Turkey began arresting members of the PKK in the east of the country, a Turkish planes bombed their bases in northern Iraq. She attacked it from the air targets in the State Islamic Syria and northern Iraq (most experts recognize, however, that the attack on the jihadist was a smokescreen for the offensive against the Kurds).

PKK answered a series of attacks on Turkish soldiers and policemen also in the central and western parts of the country. It started to speak, to increase your safety, avoid checkpoints Turkish police and trips to the east, where in other cities introduced a curfew and killed more civilians.

Three weeks ago the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet published on the front page image of Nusaybin in the south-east of the country - deserted, the city turned to rubble, cars Turkish military and Turkish soldiers, and on the ruins of the buildings hung Turkish flags. - South-East of Turkey begins to resemble Syria - commented the world's media.



Exodus of Russian tourists

In June, Turkey has dropped from 145 place numbering 163 items of the Global Peace Index (Global Peace Index). Developed every year since 2008. By an international think tank Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) index measures the level of "ukonfliktowienia" of the world, comparing 23 factors, including the number of acts of violence, the level of militarization and scale import of weapons. In 2014. Turkey was 128. position last year at 135.

Do not mind escapes to tourists. The number of foreign tourists visiting Turkey fell by 16.5 percent. (To 5.82 million) in the first four months of this year compared with the same period in 2015., Although it should be noted that the reason is not only safety considerations, but also the crisis in Turkish-Russian relations after the shooting down by Turkey of Russian Su -24 on the Turkish-Syrian border between last November.

How informed the Turkish press, the number of Russian tourists who visited in June, the popular Turkish resort of Antalya, fell by 98.5 percent. compared with the previous year.

Despite the fact that in the period from January to May in Turkey reported a 40 percent increase in spending on defense and security, tourism industry is already preparing for even greater losses in 2017. to Turkish authorities they must immediately initiate a broad campaign to counteract the deterioration of the image of Turkey. In contrast, Turkish Airlines should start direct flight connections from different parts of the world to Turkish resorts - recently spoke newspaper "Hurriyet Daily News" Osman Ayık, head of the Federation of Turkish Hoteliers (TÜROFED).

After Tuesday's attack on the Ataturk Airport is however questionable whether the launch of new flights will convince tourists to holiday in Turkey.
