Cape Verde–Turkey relations

Turkey has a relationship with Cape Verde spanning over 300 years.[2]

The relations began with the arrival Sephardic Jews to Ottoman Empire, where they utilized their networks with other Sephardic Jews, including the anusim[2] who came to establish a Jewish coastal presence[3] in Cape Verde as lançados.[2] In 1672, with the establishment of the Portuguese Inquisition[3] in Cape Verde, there was a wave of migration of Sephardic Jews and anusim to the Ottoman Empire.[2]

Relations became closer in 1977 when Turkey cooperated with the Lomé Convention and subsequently the Cotonou Agreement to send developmental aid to Cape Verde and funds to facilitate the restoration of landmarks in Praia.[2] This was welcomed by Partido Africano da Independência de Cabo Verde, the political descendant Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, which championed a closer bilateral political and economic relationship.[2]

With the participation of Portugal in NATO, close military relations developed between Cape Verde and NATO members such as Turkey.[4] Even though areas to the south of the equator were officially outside NATO jurisdiction, Portugal's membership permitted aid to Cape Verde.[4]
