Ivory Coast–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Ivory Coast and Turkey.
For most of the 20th century, President Houphouët-Boigny’s and Turkey's foreign policy aligned: Both countries have been staunch supporters of Israel and considered the Soviet Union as a threat.
Bilateral relations became tense in the early 1960s when President Houphouët-Boigny assisted French nuclear testing in Algeria and refused to (1) condemn France for its response to Algerian War and (2) provide Algeria with any assistance.
Relations became tense again in February 1986, when Houphouët-Boigny announced the decision to move his country's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in exchange for Israeli aid. This decision was in defiance of a 1980 United Nations Security Council resolution calling on all countries to withdraw their embassies from that city.
