Banks Will Keep Their Doors Closed

The Bank Association issued the following statement: As a result of the intensive communications the association has made with the relevant parties, and because the risks still threaten bank employees and customers present inside the branches, and in light of the ongoing inciting atmosphere behind these risks and threats, banks will keep their doors forcibly closed for the time being, especially in the absence of any measures or even assurances from the state and all security authorities to ensure a safe working environment.
