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