The northern German city of Hamburg Monday changed the venue of a scheduled meeting of Turkey’s foreign minister with the local Turkish community, APA reports quoting Anadolu Agency.
Mevlut Cavusoglu was scheduled to delivere a speech on Tuesday to local Turkish expats at the Plaza Event Center in Wilhelmsburg.
But the program was cancelled due to the building not meeting first safety standards, a spokesperson from the Hamburg-Mitte City Corporation told German media on condition of anonymity due to lack of permission to speak to the press.
The official also claimed that security concerns were another factor in the decision.
Cavusoglu’s rally will be held in another hall to be disclosed only hours before the program, said the official.
Nearly 1.5 million Turkish residents in Germany are eligible to vote in Turkey’s referendum on constitutional changes.
