| U.S.-TURKEY RELATIONS | U.S.-Turkish friendship dates to the late 18th century and was officially sealed by a treaty in 1830. The present close relationship began with the agreement of July 12, 1947, which implemented the Truman Doctrine. As part of the cooperative effort to further Turkish economic and military self-reliance, the United States has loaned and granted Turkey more than $12.5 billion in economic aid and more than $14 billion in military assistance. U.S.-Turkish relations focus on areas such as strategic energy cooperation, trade and investment, security ties, regional stability, the global war on terrorism, and human rights progress. Relations were strained when Turkey refused in March 2003 to allow U.S. troops to deploy through its territory to Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom, but regained momentum steadily thereafter and mutual interests remain strong across a wide spectrum of issues. On July 5, 2006, Secretary Rice and then-Foreign Minister Gul signed a Shared Vision Statement to highlight the common values and goals between our two countries and to lay out a framework for increased strategic dialogue. U.S. President Bush welcomed Prime Minister Erdogan to Washington for a White House visit on November 5, 2007, during which he committed to provide greater assistance to Turkey in its fight against terrorism from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK or Kongra Gel), which he characterized as a "common enemy" of Turkey, Iraq, and the United States. He reiterated this commitment during President Gul's January 8, 2008, White House visit. The U.S. and Turkey for several years have had a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, which met in Turkey in January 2009. In 2002, the two countries indicated their joint intent to upgrade bilateral economic relations by launching an Economic Partnership Commission, which last convened in Washington in April 2008. In 2006, Turkish exports to the U.S. totaled about $5.4 billion, and U.S. exports to Turkey totaled $5.7 billion. | | Government type: | republican parliamentary democracy | | Natural gas - exports: | 31 million cu m (2007 est.) | | Imports - partners: | Russia 13.8%, Germany 10.3%, China 7.8%, Italy 5.9%, US 4.8%, France 4.6% (2007) | | Imports - partners: | Russia 13.8%, Germany 10.3%, China 7.8%, Italy 5.9%, US 4.8%, France 4.6% (2007) |

Travel Advisory
|
| July 18, 2008 COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Turkey is a moderately developed nation with a wide range of tourist facilities of all classes in the main tourist destinations. Read the Department of State Background Notes on Turkey for additional information. | MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Turkish hospitals vary greatly. The new, private hospitals in Ankara, Antalya, and Istanbul have modern facilities and equipment, numerous U.S.-trained specialists, and international accreditation. However, they still may be unable to treat certain serious conditions. The State Department prefers medical evacuation for its personnel who will be giving birth; however there are private hospitals in Ankara and Istanbul whose level of obstetric care is considered to meet Western standards. Those planning to remain in Turkey for a prolonged period of time should consider bringing or securing a supply of necessary chronic medications (e.g., heart medications, birth control pills) to cover them while they are in the country, as certain medications are difficult to obtain in Turkey. Nursing care and diagnostic testing (including mammograms) meet American standards at specific institutions in the larger cities. Health care standards are lower in small cities in Turkey in comparison to bigger cities such as Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, and Adana. Travelers are advised to drink only bottled water or water that has been filtered and boiled. Bottled beverages are considered safe to drink. Most local dairy products, including milk, yogurt, and cheese, are safe to consume. However, care must be taken when purchasing all perishable products, as many vendors do not have adequate refrigeration. Travelers are advised to wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly and to cook meat thoroughly before eating. The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Turkey. However, visitors or foreign residents with HIV/AIDS should register with the Ministry of Health upon their arrival into Turkey.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) hotline for international travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747) or via the CDC’s web site at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad consult the World Health Organization’s (WHO) web site at http://www.who.int/en. Further health information for travelers is available at http://www.who.int/ith. Avian Influenza: In January 2006, the WHO and Turkish authorities confirmed human cases of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, commonly known as the "bird flu." The Government of Turkey immediately quarantined the affected region (mostly eastern and southeastern region) and no human cases have been reported since then. Travelers to Turkey and other countries affected by the virus are cautioned to avoid poultry farms, contact with animals in live food markets, and any surfaces that appear to be contaminated with feces from poultry or other animals. In addition, the CDC and WHO recommend eating only fully cooked poultry and eggs. For the most current information and links on avian influenza in Turkey, see the State Department's Avian Influenza Fact Sheet or visit the web site of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara at http://turkey.usembassy.gov/. | | AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Turkey’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Turkey’s air carrier operations. For more information, travelers may visit the FAA’s web site at http://www.faa.gov/safety/programs_initiatives/oversight/iasa. | SAFETY AND SECURITY: Terrorist bombings over the past five years – some causing significant numbers of casualties – have struck religious, government, government-owned, political, tourist and business targets in a number of locations in Turkey. A variety of leftist or Islamic terrorist groups have targeted U.S. and Western interests as well. Terrorists claiming association with al-Qa’ida were responsible for suicide bombings in Istanbul in 2003 that targeted Western interests. In August 2005, Turkish police uncovered a planned terrorist attack by a transnational group targeting maritime interests in Turkey. The possibility of terrorist attacks, both transnational and indigenous, remains high. The Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK, also known as Kongra Gel) is one of the most active terrorist organizations in Turkey. Over the last few decades, the PKK has been responsible for the deaths of more than 30,000 Turkish citizens. This indigenous terrorist group continues to target Turkish officials and various civilian facilities.
The following paragraphs describe the extent of terrorist activity in major cities and regions in Turkey: Ankara: In May 2007, an explosive device was detonated by a suicide bomber in the Ulus district of Ankara during rush hour, resulting in six deaths and injuring more than 100. While there was no claim made by the PKK, the material used in the device was similar to that frequently used by the group. In September 2007, 600 kilograms of explosives were found in a minivan parked in a multi-story car park in the central Sihhiye area of Ankara. Investigations revealed a suspect with ties to the PKK. Istanbul: In November 2003, al-Qa’ida-associated suicide bombers attacked the British Consulate, an HSBC Bank, and two synagogues, killing dozens and wounding hundreds of people. These incidents represent a significant change from prior attacks in Turkey and showed an increased willingness on the part of terrorists to attack Western targets.
On July 9, 2008, a terrorist attack on the Turkish police guarding the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul resulted in three police officer deaths and wounding two other police personnel. At this time, responsibility for the attack has not been claimed by or assigned to a specific terrorist group.
In April 2007, Turkish police captured a PKK terrorist in one of Istanbul’s major tourist centers, Taksim Square. The female terrorist was intercepted carrying a bomb made of five kilograms of A-4 explosive; the target was a large gathering celebrating the founding of the Turkish police. In December 2007, a suspected male PKK member carrying three kilograms of A-4 explosive material in a backpack was arrested by Turkish National Police in Istanbul’s Mecidiyekoy Square; the intended target was the Mecidiyekoy subway station. In Istanbul, small-scale bombings and violent demonstrations, and more recently vehicle arsons, have occurred regularly since 2006. Most, but not all, of these incidents have happened in neighborhoods not generally frequented by tourists. PKK supporters on a number of occasions have set public buses on fire after ordering passengers to disembark. In April 2006, an attack of this type resulted in three deaths and at least one severe wounding. Thus far, no attacks on buses have taken place in tourist areas of the city. Mediterranean/Aegean Regions: The Kurdistan Liberation Falcons (TAK, also known as the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks), which was designated a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” organization by the Department of State in January 2008 and is ostensibly aligned with the PKK, has warned tourists not to visit Turkey. Consistent with its threats, this group claimed responsibility for a number of bombings in tourist areas in the Mediterranean and Aegean coastal resort areas (as well as in Istanbul). In July 2005, TAK claimed responsibility for a bomb that ripped through a minibus in the holiday resort town of Kuşadasi, killing five persons, including a British tourist and an Irish tourist. In June 2006, the group also was responsible for an explosion that killed three European tourists in Manavgat, a town in Antalya Province, as well as other attacks in the Antalya and Muğla Provinces. In August 2006, ten Britons and six Turks were injured when their minibus was blown up in Marmaris, and a bomb killed three and injured 87 in a blast at a shopping area in the city of Antalya. Eastern and Southeastern Provinces (including Adana): The PKK retains a presence in certain parts of southeastern Turkey, and regularly carries out attacks focused primarily on security personnel; occasionally, however, attacks injure or kill civilians. Travel is difficult and should be considered dangerous in some portions of this region. Americans traveling in southeastern Turkey, as well as to Mt. Ararat in the Agri, northeast, should exercise extreme caution.
On July 3, 2008, three German tourists were kidnapped by armed PKK militants while camped on Mt. Ararat with their 13-member climbing team. This kidnapping highlights the risks to traveling in this area and in Turkey’s southeast. Roadside explosions caused by remote-controlled land mines or other improvised explosive devices in the Batman, Şirnak, Hakkâri, Siirt, Mardin, Diyarbakir and Tunceli provinces occur regularly. Sound bombs are a frequent event throughout the region. There have also been a number of PKK raids on Jandarma posts and ambushes of Turkish security force vehicle patrols in many of Turkey’s rural southeastern areas. In 2005, the PKK attacked two trains and kidnapped two Turkish government employees in the region. In August 2006, two bombs exploded in Adana, injuring four people. In September 2006, a bomb detonated in the city of Diyarbakir, killing ten and injuring 15 Turkish nationals. In January 2008, a PKK remote controlled car bomb killed seven people and injured 66 when it exploded on a street in downtown Diyarbakir. Terrorist activity aside, the southeast area has also had a history of civil unrest of which travelers should be aware. Regional civil unrest that began in late March 2006 prompted clashes involving Turkish security forces and protestors, and left approximately a dozen people killed and several hundred wounded. Visitors to southeastern Turkey should use commercial air travel whenever possible. If road travel is necessary, travelers are advised to drive only during daylight hours and on major highways. The Turkish Jandarma and police forces monitor checkpoints on roads throughout the southeastern region. Travelers should be cooperative if stopped at any checkpoint. Drivers and all passengers in the vehicle should be prepared to provide identification cards or passports, a driver’s license, and vehicle registration if stopped. At these checkpoints, roll down the driver’s side window (the passenger side also, in vehicles with tinted windows) when stopped by security force officials. Security forces can then safely inspect the vehicle and its occupants. Remain calm, do not make any sudden movements, and obey all instructions immediately. Security officials may restrict access to some roads at times, and security force escort vehicles may be required to “convoy” visitors through troublesome areas. In some cases, this must be arranged in advance. Use of public transportation, at any time, is strongly discouraged in the southeastern region. In June 2007, the Turkish General Staff declared parts of the southeastern provinces of Şirnak, Hakkâri, and Siirt as “sensitive areas” due to ongoing counter-insurgency operations carried out by Turkish military forces. Access to these areas, mostly along the Iraqi border, is controlled by the security forces. The Turkish government has extended this designation until September 2008. Department of State personnel are subject to travel restrictions in the provinces of Şirnak, Diyarbakir, Van, Siirt, Muş, Mardin, Batman, Bingol, Tunceli, Hakkâri, Bitlis, and Elaziğ. U.S. military and Department of Defense civilians should consult their local area commander regarding any restrictions in effect for southeastern Turkey. Mount Ararat, in the Ağri province, is a special military zone and access permission must be obtained from the Turkish government through a Turkish embassy or consulate before coming to Turkey. For all of Turkey, travelers are cautioned not to accept letters, parcels, or other items from strangers for delivery either in or outside of Turkey. The PKK has attempted to use foreigners to deliver messages and packages in or outside of Turkey. If discovered, individuals could be arrested for aiding and abetting the terrorist organization. In addition to terrorist activities, there have been several recent instances of violence targeting Christians in Turkey: the fatal shooting of a Catholic priest in Trabzon in February 2006; the murder of Armenian Turkish writer/journalist Hrant Dink in Istanbul in January 2007; the brutal murder of three Christians, one of them a German citizen, in a Bible bookstore in Malatya in April 2007; and the stabbing of a Catholic priest in Izmir in December 2007. Americans should exercise caution and good judgment, keep a low profile, and remain vigilant with regard to their personal security. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. As security is increased at official U.S. facilities, terrorists will seek softer targets. These may include facilities where Americans and Westerners are known to live, congregate, shop, or visit. U.S. citizens should remain in a heightened state of personal security awareness when attendance at such locations is unavoidable. International and domestic political issues sometimes trigger demonstrations in most major cities in Turkey. We wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations, if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s web site, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts can be found. Up-to-date information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S. and Canada, or for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll-free line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). The Department of State urges American citizens to take responsibility for their own personal security while traveling overseas. For general information about appropriate protective measures travelers can take in an overseas environment, see the Department of State’s pamphlet A Safe Trip Abroad. |
