Togo–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Togo and Turkey. Turkey embassy opened in Lomé.[1]

Diplomatic Relations

Turkey and Togo enjoy good bilateral relations.[1] However, relations cooled in early 1980s when Gnassingbé Eyadéma became increasingly more heavy-handed and authoritarian, judged as having Africa's worst human rights record.[2] Turkey was critical of Gnassingbé Eyadéma's re-election in August 1993 in a contest boycotted by other candidates.[2] Relations improved in 1994, when Gnassingbé Eyadéma appointed[3] Edem Kodjo, an Ewe leader of Rassemblement du Peuple Togolais from Kpalimé who came third in the election with 7 seats, as Prime Minister.[4]
