Political Relations
Türkiye’s relations with Estonia are based on the “Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation” signed on 1 December 1924. The occupation and annexation of Estonia by the Soviet Union was never recognized by Türkiye. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, diplomatic relations between the two countries were re-established on 2 October 1991.
Türkiye's support for Estonia's NATO membership and Estonia’s support for Türkiye's EU membership process further strengthened our cooperation.
