Current Situation in Turkey
I was planning a moto trip to turkey for the month of July, but I'd like some advice on the current security situation.
There have been several suicide bombings in Ankara and Istanbul in the past few months, and there was just a bombing in Dagubayazit in the east last week. I recognize the first two ISIS attacks were aimed at large gatherings to inflict the maximum amount of casualties to generate the largest news coverage possible and it is unlikely to be caught in one.
I also recognize that the PKK was responsible for the bombing in the east which was aimed at the police and military forces, and the PKK has no interest in targeting or kidnapping westerners.
What I'm wondering if it's safe to travel overland throughout the country. We will not be traveling near the Syrian border towns, but if anyone knows of any other troubled areas their advice would be much appreciated.
