Argentinae–Turkey relations
Argentinae–Turkey relations are foreign relations atween Argentinae an Turkey. Argentinae haes an embassy in Ankara an Turkey haes an embassy in Buenos Aires. Turkey's staunch support for fellow NATO member Unitit Kinrick durin the Falklands War an the recognition o the Armenie Genocide bi the Argentine pairlament hae soured relations atween the twa kintras.
History an diplomatic incidents eedit
Relations atween the twa kintras became sour durin the Falklands War whur Turkey gave full support tae the Unitit Kinrick. In 1992 Argentine Preses Carlos Menem veeisit Turkey as the first Laitin American heid o state ever tae veesit Turkey. On 24 Apryle 2007, the Argentine Pairlament signed intae law a bill titled "The Action Day for Tolerance an Respect atween Fowks for the Memory o Armenie Genocide," thus recognisin the Armenie Genocide despite Turkis internaitional claims that it cannot be classified as sic. Turkey deplored an rejectit the bill an in an offeecial statement statit that it wis "unethical an far frae being serious." In 2007, the Turkis Ambassador in Buenos Aires, Hayri Hayret Yalav, wis summoned for consultations at the Foreign Meenistry in Ankara to review bilateral relations wi Argentinae.[1]
Prior tae the decision tae pass the Apryle 2007 bill, which wis taken in Januar o the same year, relations wur generally cordial although nae especially strang. The Turkish Daily News haes written that the twa naitions maistly actit taegither at the UN.[2] The Daily News opined that the Turkis Embassy in Buenos Aires haes nae been very effective, resultin in a missed opportunity tae further improve relations and access tae the rest o Laitin Americae. The Argentina-Turkey Friendship Foondation (ATFF), an NGO operatin in Argentinae, plays a lairge role, assistin wi cultural exchynge bi running classes on Turkis cooking and the Turkis leid, bi by sometimes haundin oot fuid tae the poor.[2]

Turkey an Argentinae hae signed an Economic an Commercial Cooperation Agreement. As o 2008, Turkis exports tae Argentina staund at $35 million, while Argentine exports tae Turkey staynd at $221 million. Trade volume atween the twa naitions increased tae $466 million in 2014.[3] Argentina is Turkey's third biggest economic pairtner in Laitin Americae efter Brazil an Mexico.[4] In recent years, millions o dollars worth o Turkis TV series hae been exportit tae Argentinae.

Argentina agreed tae study the feasibility o bihgin a 300 MWe PWR designed bi Empresa Nuclear Argentina de Centrales.[5] Other fuel cycle activities were also explored.[6]
In October 1990, Turkis companies Sezai Turkes-Fevzi Akkaya and TEK formed a jynt engineering agreement wi Argentine agencies Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica an Investigaciones Applicadas tae develop twa CAREM-25 nuclear reactors, ane in each kintra, with construction tae begin in 1991 in Argentinae an in 1992 in Turkey.[5] Umwhile Turkis Prime Meenister Turgut Ozal an Argentine Preses Carlos Menem personally negotiatit the deal.
