Trade relations were modest but limited because of Turkey's refusal[4] to participate in a trade agreement[3] until the claims[5] of nationalized businesses were settled.

Relations were also tense because of Czechoslovakia's alignment against Israel[6] in the Middle East, which was Turkey’s closest ally[4] in the region.
