Ivory CoastâTurkey relations are the foreign relations between Ivory Coast and Turkey.
For most of the 20th century, President HouphouĂ«t-Boignyâs and Turkey's foreign policy aligned: Both countries have been staunch supporters [1] of Israel and considered the Soviet Union as a threat. [1]
Bilateral relations became tense in the early 1960s [2] when President Houphouët-Boigny assisted French nuclear testing in Algeria [2] and refused to (1) condemn France [2] for its response to Algerian War and (2) provide Algeria with any assistance. [1]
Relations became tense [3] again in February 1986, when Houphouët-Boigny announced the decision to move his country's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in exchange [4] for Israeli aid. [3] This decision was in defiance of a 1980 United Nations Security Council resolution calling on all countries to withdraw their embassies from that city.
