Slovenia-Turkey relations

Slovenia	Turkey

Slovenia–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Slovenia and Turkey. Slovenia has an embassy in Ankara. Turkey has an embassy in Ljubljana. Both countries are members of the NATO and OSCE and COE. Slovenia is a member of the EU, Turkey is EU candidate.

After leaving the Soviet sphere in 1948, Yugoslavia sought, then withdrew from, a Balkan alliance^[1] with Greece and Turkey . Relations between Yugoslavia and Turkey became tense^[1] in the 1970s when Yugoslavia strongly backed Greece in the Cyprus dispute^[1] and supported the Palestine Liberation Organization^[1] against Israel, which was Turkey’s closest ally in the Middle East at the time.

Following Slovenia's Declaration of Independence in June 1991, relations between Slovenia and Turkey improved considerably^[2] because both countries were strongly committed^[2] to the West and there were no historical disputes since Slovenia was never under Ottoman rule.
