Polish Turkish Relations
Diplomatic relations between Poland and Turkey dates back to 15th century. In 1414, diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Poland were established. The two countries were neighbors from middle ages till the end of 18th century. Poland is the first European country that recognizes young Turkish state after World War I. During the Second World War, the ambassador of Nazi Germany requested to capture the embassy of Poland. However, Turkey rejected this request and Franz von Papen had to see Polish flag until the end of Second World War. Polish-Turkish relations were historically strong. The Ottoman Empire was the only major country in the world that did not recognize the Partitions of Poland. In the 19th century, many Polish veterans of the November Uprising, January Uprising and Crimean War arrived in Turkey. Many Polish officers like Michał Czajkowski served in the Ottoman Army. Polish national poet Adam Mickiewicz spent the last months of his life in İstanbul and died there. The house where he lived was later transformed into the Adam Mickiewicz Museum. There is also a Polish village in Turkey named Polonezköy (Adampol). It lies on the Anatolian side of İstanbul and was settled in 1842 by Polish veterans of the November Uprising. In the 19th and 20th centuries, more Polish settlers arrived. Today, there is still Polish minority in the village.
