List of ambassadors of Turkey to the Council of Europe

The list of ambassadors of Turkey to the Council of Europe includes diplomats responsible for representing Turkey within the Council of Europe (CoE). Turkey established a diplomatic mission in Strasbourg on 1 August 1953 to serve as the permanent representation of Turkey at CoE and as a consulate general for Turkish citizens in Strasbourg. On 2 February 1967, the permanent representation to CoE was separated from the consular section and the first ambassador was appointed as chief of mission.[1]

The current chancery building, located at 23 Boulevard de l’Orangerie, has been operational since 28 April 1966.[2]
