Togo–Turkey relations

Diplomatic Relations
Turkey and Togo enjoy good bilateral relations. However, relations cooled in early 1980s when Gnassingbé Eyadéma became increasingly more heavy-handed and authoritarian, judged as having Africa's worst human rights record. Turkey was critical of Gnassingbé Eyadéma's re-election in August 1993 in a contest boycotted by other candidates. Relations improved in 1994, when Gnassingbé Eyadéma appointed Edem Kodjo, an Ewe leader of Rassemblement du Peuple Togolais from Kpalimé who came third in the election with 7 seats, as Prime Minister.
