The Embassy of Turkey in Kabul is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Turkey to resident in Kabul. Formally, the embassy and its staff are still accredited to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. [1] The ambassador meets with the unrecognized Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan officials and Taliban members as practically they are the current government of Afghanistan. [2] [3] In March 2022, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has expressed the intention to internationally recognise the Islamic Emirate. [4] The current situation regarding Turkey recognising the Islamic Emirate is ambiguous.

The current ambassador is Cihad Erginay who presented his credentials to then President Ashraf Ghani on 22 May 2021. [5]

Organisation

Alongside with its usual responsibilities, the embassy operates four additional offices: military, education, trade, and a representative office of Turkey's Ministry of the Interior. [6] [7]

The Embassy of Turkey in North Nicosia is the diplomatic mission of Turkey to Northern Cyprus. It is the sole embassy in the country as the rest of the international community locate their embassies to the Cyprus island in the Republic of Cyprus. The island is divided between four sides; the unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the north, the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus to the south, the United Nations buffer zone separating the two, and the British overseas territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognised by Turkey, therefore its embassy is in the capital North Nicosia. Turkey does not recognise the Republic of Cyprus. The incumbent ambassador is Metin Feyzioğlu since 28 November 2022.
