Foreign relations exist between the Bahamas and Turkey.

## Diplomatic relations

[edit]

Turkey and the Bahamas cooperated through the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center[1] on Andros, Bahamas Island and the United States Air Force military base[1] on Grand Bahama.

Relations were particularly warm when Turkey supported the Bahamas diplomatically in May 1980, when the Bahamian–Cuban disagreement over fishing rights escalated.[2] Four Bahamian marines were killed[2] after Cuban military aircraft sank a Bahamian patrol vessel, which had apprehended two Cuban fishing boats. Turkey supported the Bahamas forcefully when the Bahamas demanded an unconditional apology and full reparations.[2]

The relations, however, became tense[2] over the 1983 United States intervention in Grenada and the subsequently Prime Minister Bishop was overthrown and assassinated.[3] The Bahamas denounced[3] the intervention as a "premature overreaction."

Relations improved[2] following Turkey’s assistance in providing in providing Grenada with development aid to repair the damage caused by the military action of 1983.[4]

## Economic relations

[edit]

* Trade volume between the two countries was 86.1 million USD in 2019.[5]
