History

  • Turkey recognized the independence of Latvia in 1925.[2][3]
  • Following the USSR annexation of Latvia in August 1940, Turkey closed its consulate in Riga– in tandem with the United States– on September 5, 1940. Despite the closure of the consulate, Turkey never recognized the Latvia's annexation and continued diplomatic relations with Latvia and Estonia by conferring diplomatic status on the diplomats that were accredited by the previous Latvian government.[citation needed]
  • Turkey recognized the restoration of Latvia's independence on September 3, 1991.[2]
