The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Turkish: Dışişleri Bakanlığı) is a government ministry of the Republic of Turkey, responsible for the foreign relations of Turkey. Although the Ministry was established on May 2, 1920,[1] in the wake of the inauguration of the first Turkish Parliament in Ankara, it bears the experience of hundreds of years of Ottoman diplomatic tradition. The ministry is headquartered in the Turkish capital of Ankara[2] and counts on more than 200 missions as embassies, permanent representation offices and consulates general, abroad.
Professor Ahmet Davutoğlu is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, appointed on May 1, 2009.[3]
