Abstrakt: Following the First World War, many new formed countries emerged on the global stage. Among them were the Republic of Turkey and the Czechoslovak Republic, both established on territories formerly under imperial rule. As these nations sought to solidify their place in the international arena, they recognized the necessity of establishing new diplomatic ties with one another. Consequently, a friendship treaty was negotiated between Turkey and Czechoslovakia during the Lausanne Conference, and on October 11, 1924, the treaty was officially signed. Subsequently, on July 6, 1925, additional diplomatic notes were exchanged, paving the way for the appointment of the first Turkish envoy to Czechoslovakia. This article delves into the historical significance of Turkish diplomats serving in Czechoslovakia between 1925 and 1939. The primary objectives are to introduce these diplomats, shed light on their activities in Prague, ascertain their perspectives on Czechoslovakia, and explore whether their presence had any noticeable impact on the bilateral relations between the two countries. To accomplish these aims, the study draws upon a wide array of primary and secondary sources, including archival documents, articles, books, and newspapers, from both Turkey and the Czech Republic.
