The Turkish ambassador to Spain.

The Turkish Ambassador to Spain is Turkey's highest diplomatic representative to Spain.

Overview

Turkey has an embassy in Madrid and a consulate general in Barcelona.

Turkey and Spain are both members of the Council of Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the World Trade Organization, and the Union for the Mediterranean. Spain is also an EU member and Turkey is an EU candidate.

A rapprochement between the Republic of Turkey, led by prime minister Adnan Menderes, and Francoist Spain began by the mid-20th century, and both countries signed a Treaty of Friendship in 1959.[1]This strengthening of relations continued in the 1980s, in a favourable context facilitated by circumstances such as the joining of Spain to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1982, a military alliance to which Turkey already belonged.[1]
