Political Relations
Türkiye recognized the independence of Latvia in 1925. The first Turkish
Embassy in the Baltics was opened in Riga in 1929. The occupation and
annexation of Latvia 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 3 September 1991, and the Treaty of
Friendship and Cooperation was signed on 12 July 1994.
