Pope Leo Departs for Turkey for his first overseas trip, a visit closely monitored by international observers and security agencies. The Turkish government implemented enhanced security protocols around Ankara and key destinations on the pontiff’s itinerary, with police, rapid-response teams, and surveillance units positioned throughout the capital.
The visit is expected to focus on interfaith dialogue, diplomatic engagement, and outreach to regional religious leaders. Turkish officials say coordination between national security agencies and the Vatican began weeks earlier to ensure a controlled, safe environment throughout the pope’s stay.
