Turkish order of precedence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Turkish order of precedence, the following is the list of Turkish order of precedence approved by the President of Turkey and administered by the Directorate of Protocols of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1]

This is a hierarchy of officials in the Turkish Republic used to direct protocol for domestic ceremonies, hence it does not involve any foreign dignitaries. It also does not contain the President of Turkey, since he is the head of the state and assumed to be at the top of the list naturally.
