Turkey was the first country in the world to recognize the independence of Turkmenistan during the period of dissolution of the Soviet Union and first country that opened an embassy in the newly independent country.[1] Turkmenistan has an embassy in Ankara and a consulate general in Istanbul, while Turkey has an embassy in Ashgabat. Both countries are full members of the Economic Cooperation Organization, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, International Organization of Turkic Culture and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. The two countries share close cultural connections, with both having a majority Sunni Muslim population and being predominantly inhabited by Turkic peoples. Both the Turkish and Turkmen languages belong to the Oghuz subgroup of Turkic languages, which means that Turkmens can understand Turkish and vice versa. Turkey is one of the 47 countries in the world that holders of a Turkmen passport can visit without a visa.[2][3]

## Economic relations

[edit]

Net trade between two countries in 2009 was 1.6 billion USD and that number constituted 52% increase compared with the numbers for 2008.[4] At that time Turkey was the second largest trade partner for Turkmenistan.[4] As of 2013 more than 600 companies from Turkey had implemented over 1270 investment projects with about 1200 of them having the total value of 15 billion USD.[5] Increasing economic cooperation between two countries has made Turkmenistan Turkey's first partner in Central Asia by number of projects implemented.[1]
