Foreign relations exist between the Bahamas and Turkey.
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 Bahamianâ 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 Turkeyâs assistance in providing in providing Grenada with development aid to repair the damage caused by the military action of 1983. [4]
