"All national sports competitions scheduled in our country have been suspended until further notice," the Minister of Youth and Sports of Turkey, Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoglu, announced on his Twitter account.

Two Turkish teams -- Anadolu Efes Istanbul and Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul -- are scheduled to play their EuroLeague Round 24 games at home.

Efes meet Real Madrid on Thursday, while Fenerbahce welcome EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Friday.

It's not clear whether these matches will take place according to the schedule, as sports is now a secondary matter.

Turkey is living through very difficult times, and many basketball community members have expressed condolence and prayers.
