Turkish officials say they have responded to Australian’s warnings about a potential attack on this year’s Anzac Day ceremony at Gallipoli by boosting the number of security personnel.
An official in the Canakkale governor’s office said the number of soldiers and police on hand would be doubled.
However, there are no plans for beefed up security like checkpoints to stop and search cars or their occupants.
A ruling party member of the parliamentary committee on Foreign Affairs, Ravza Kavakci Kan, told the ABC she had been briefed on the Australian warning but it contained no hard intelligence.
“This is something brought from the Australian Government and they don’t have any specifics. Any kind of intelligence information is processed by the related institutions that have the authority so there is nothing to worry about,” she said
