T.C. Dışişleri Bakanlığı ( Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey )
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was officially established on May 2, 1920 as part of the first National Government, immediately following the inauguration of the Turkish Grand National Assembly on April 23, 1920. In 1927, the first comprehensive legal regulation on the organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was enacted with the adoption of Act No. 1154 which laid the foundation of the Ministry’s present day institutional structure. The Republic of Turkey, which had a total of 39 missions abroad in 1924, is now represented by 164 missions throughout the world. These missions comprise of 94 Embassies, 11 Permanent Missions to international organizations and 59 Consulate Generals. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to operate with its modest resources and number of personnel to conduct and further promote our international political, economic and cultural relations in the bilateral and multilateral context as well as to contribute to peace, stability and prosperity in our region and beyond.
