ANKARA, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- Turkish Foreign Ministry on Sunday issued a travel advisory for citizens traveling to France, citing the ongoing violent "Yellow Vests" protests in Paris and other cities.

In a warning published on its official website, the ministry advised Turkish citizens who live in France or will travel to the country to avoid areas of demonstrations and stay away from dangerous places.

The movement "Yellow Vests," which aims to express the anger of the people against rising fuel prices, launched the third day of mobilization on Saturday in Paris and several areas in France.

The planned peaceful demonstration evolved into an act of unprecedented violence in Paris, causing many casualties in the conflict.
