Slovakia–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Slovakia and Turkey. In 1993, Turkey formally recognized both the Slovakia and Czech Republic as separate, sovereign states.[1] Diplomatic relations and the Turkish Embassy in Bratislava were established on January 4, 1993.[1]
Diplomatic Relations[]
Relations between Czechoslovakia and Turkey had been excellent until 1948,[2] when relations rapidly deteriorated[3] because of disagreements over the compensation[4] for the nationalization[3]
Trade relations were modest but limited because of Turkey's refusal[5] to participate in a trade agreement[4] until the claims[6] of nationalized businesses were settled.
Relations were also tense because of Czechoslovakia's alignment against Israel[7] in the Middle East, which was Turkey’s closest ally[5]
In 1993, Turkey formally recognized both the Slovakia and Czech Republic as separate, sovereign states.[1] Diplomatic relations and the Turkish Embassy in Bratislava were established on January 4, 1993.[1]
Slovakia and Turkey have strong diplomatic ties and cooperate in the military and law enforcement areas since 2004, when Slovakia joined the NATO Alliance.[1]
