"GBDSC are aware that some members will be concerned by the recent political developments in Turkey given that the 2017 Deaflympics are scheduled to take place in Samsun next year. As with any overseas travel we are monitoring the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website on a regular basis for emerging advice. We recognise that it is still 12 months until the Deaflympics and a lot can happen in that time. However at this stage we anticipate that the event will proceed as planned. The safety of our athletes and officials will be paramount at all times. We do of course hope that the situation will stabilise but will continue to monitor the position. We are also in contact with colleagues at UKDS who are also monitoring the emerging situation. "
