Your Excellency,

As we established in our official statement, the Empire of France welcomes the establishment of the People's Republic of Turkey. Even though we differ significantly on our ideology, the past few years have shown that even widely different governments can act for a common goal. It is our belief that Turkey stands to become a vital player in world affairs and we believe that re-establishing strong Franco-Turkish relations will prove to benefit both nations.

As a result I am hereby inviting you to meet with myself in Paris to discuss the reset of our relations and possible further cooperation.

Sincerely,
Sophie Dubois,
Ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères

Subject: Re: Establishing Formal Relations

Your Excellency,

Thank you for your kind offer. My government deeply regrets the deterioration of relations between Ankara and Paris as well as Ankara and the Holy See under past administrations, and we would strongly like to rectify these situations. As such I will gladly accept your invitation to meet with yourself in Paris.

It is my hope that at this meeting we can discuss the normalization of our relation as well as the establishment of some level of cooperation and understanding regarding the Syrian conflict in which we understand the Empire of France has shown a strong interest.

My Ministry will remain in contact with yours to discuss travel arrangements.

Sincerely,
Amine Macar

With Turkey agreeing to the meeting the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs would maintain communications with the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the agreed upon day a runway and terminal at Paris Orly would be reserved while a helicopter would be kept on standby to fly the visiting Foreign Minister directly from the airport to the Ministry. Once the Turkish flight arrived Air Traffic control would guide them to the designated runway.
