Minister Sümeyye Boz Çakı, First I would like to congratulate you on your nation's overthrowing of the communist shackles that has devastated your national economy and created such a crisis within your beautiful and historical home. Throughout history Poland and Turkey, and her ancestors, have found themselves at odds and opposites sides of history. But often have found themselves sharing the same resolve and seek for peace such as the Turkish support for the Bar Confederation and Turkey's non-recognition of the final partition. It is my hope we can continue this trend of positive diplomatic relations into modern times by officially and unequivocally recognizing the legitimacy of the new, democratic government of Turkey. To this point I would like to invite a Turkish delegation to Warsaw to meet with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss economic and military treaties to insure the curse of communism and socialism never stains your people in blood again. The agenda will be as follows: Restoration of Diplomatic and Democratic Relations Mutual Recognition and Embassy Reestablishment Joint Military Cooperation Agreement (Training, Air Defense, Intelligence) Polish-Licensed Armed UAV Production and Technology Transfer Defense Industry Partnership and Co-Production Facilities Counterterrorism and Anti-Subversion Coordination Economic Stabilization Support and Trade Liberalization Customs, Tariffs, and Investment Protections Joint Special Economic Zones and Industrial Recovery Initiatives Currency Stabilization and Financial System Modernization Visa Facilitation for Technical, Humanitarian, and Commercial Travel Cultural Restoration and Academic Exchange Programs Rejection of Communism, Extremism, and Authoritarianism Pathway to Creation of Eastern European League and Democratic Oversight Commitments

Kind Regards, Marek Kwiatkowski Minister of Foreign Affairs Kingdom of Poland

Your Excellency, On behalf of the Republic of Türkiye, I extend my warmest thanks for your gracious message and the solidarity it expresses. The people of Türkiye are emerging from a period of deep hardship and national disruption, one marked by the imposition of an unnatural ideology that severed us from our historic identity, paralyzed our economic vitality, and fractured the constitutional balance of our institutions. Your words of support, offered at such a pivotal juncture, are received with both gratitude and hope. It is true, as you so aptly recalled, that the histories of our nations, though at times divergent, have often intersected through shared convictions and a mutual desire for independence, dignity, and sovereignty. The Turkish people remember Poland’s struggle during the partitions and cherish the legacy of our predecessors who, even under pressure, refused to recognize unjust occupations. Our nation, like Poland, faced the threat of unjust intervention and partition during the First World War, which was only repulsed by our refusal to recognize an unjust dismemberment and partition of our homeland. In this spirit, I welcome the prospect of forging a new chapter in Turkish–Polish relations—one rooted not merely in remembrance, but in shared purpose. I am pleased to accept your invitation to Warsaw. Let us begin the process of renewing and reestablishing diplomatic and economic ties that will serve both our peoples. I am especially encouraged by your proposal for a robust framework encompassing defense cooperation, industrial co-development, counterterrorism coordination, and economic recovery. Each of these is not only timely but essential to the rebuilding of democratic resilience across Eastern Europe. We welcome Poland’s commitment to support our transition and to act as a partner in ensuring that never again shall the curse of totalitarianism, be it communist or otherwise, find fertile ground in our nations. I also commend your vision of an Eastern European association. The concept of a democratic, cooperative regional bloc that champions open economies, national sovereignty, and collective security is one that Türkiye is prepared to explore with sincere interest. It would be my honor to lead a delegation to your capital in the coming weeks. I believe we can together chart a path toward a durable partnership, one that fosters peace, stability, and economic growth not only for our own peoples, but for the wider region that looks to us for leadership. Regards, Sümeyye Çakı Minister of Foreign Affairs Türkiye

Minister Caki, Thank you for the kind words, Minister. I look forward to hosting your delegation within the Kingdom of Poland in the hopes of establishing a framework of friendship that continues far into the future. I believe there is an old Turkish proverb that aptly describes our current situation within the recent events of both of our nations. "Karanlıkta bir dostla yürümek, aydınlıkta tek başına yürümekten yeğdir". "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.". I believe that us coming together during these dark times will lead to a friendship that is built to last and be resilient against those who wish to bring our people harm and subjugate them under the iron fist of authoritarianism. I would like to change the venue of the talks to the city of Poznan, I do hope this does not effect your travel plans too much. While Warsaw would be the typical location for diplomatic talks, we feel Poznan would be a more neutral ground for such diplomatic talks that we are planning on hosting. With the recent terror attacks within Warsaw itself, the city of Poznan would make establishing a secure perimeter using local Policja forces as well as local military forces. Poznań–Ławica Airport would be the best place to fly into. We will have an armed escort that will escort you to the old Imperial Palace where there will be rooms made up for your delegation as well as food served three times a day alongside snacks during the talks. During downtime, we will provide armed escorts for any members of the delegation that wish to explore the city. I do believe there will be several exhibits at the Poznan International Fair over the next couple of months that may be of interest to members of your delegation. It is also one of the cultural capitals of Poland, being the first capital city of the old Kingdom before the partitions.

Kind Regards, Marek Kwiatkowski Minister of Foreign Affairs Kingdom of Poland

Your Excellency, Indeed, to walk together through times of difficulty is to forge a bond stronger than any forged in comfort. I am confident that the partnership we now begin will endure, resilient against those who would seek to divide or diminish our peoples. I accept with appreciation your proposal to host the talks in the historic city of Poznań. Its significance as one of Poland’s great cultural capitals, as well as its practical advantages for ensuring the safety of our delegations, makes it a most suitable venue. I am confident that the atmosphere of Poznań will serve as an inspiration for the constructive work we are to undertake. Given the security situation you have outlined, I must respectfully request that a detachment of the Republic of Türkiye’s armed police accompany me and the Turkish delegation during our visit. They will work in close coordination with the Polish Policja and your security services to ensure seamless protection, both for the talks and during any public engagements. I trust such arrangements will be compatible with your own security protocols. Our delegation will arrive prepared to engage substantively on the comprehensive agenda you have outlined, with the goal of producing a joint communiqué at the conclusion of the visit. I look forward to the fruitful and strategic discussions that await us in Poznań. Regards, Sümeyye Çakı Minister of Foreign Affairs Türkiye

Minister Caki, I have discussed this issue with the Crown and the Office of State Protection at length and it has been decided to allow a small detachment of your armed police to assist in security and protection during the diplomatic engagement. The number will be limited to ten armed police from the General Directorate of Security for exclusive purpose of providing security to the Turkish delegation. The Office of State Protection, under approval by the Crown, has issued the following orders for the Armed Police attachment: All Turkish protective personnel shall operate under the direct coordination and supervision of the OSP’s Diplomatic Protection Bureau. Turkish personnel may carry sidearms only, in accordance with the weapons specifications approved by the Ministry of the Interior. Firearms shall be loaded but safety-engaged at all times, save for imminent defense of life. No independent law enforcement or investigative action shall be undertaken by Turkish personnel on Polish soil. Operational activity shall be confined to: a. The delegation’s accommodations. b. Official venues of state meetings. c. Approved transit routes between such locations. During their stay within Poland they will be offered the same level of legal protection has embassy security staff as according to the Global Assembly Resolution on International Diplomacy but it will be limited to lawful discharges of their protective duties. Any use of force or security incident shall be immediately reported to OSP Command Post for joint assessment and resolution. We have assigned a Senior Security Liaison Officer to the Turkish detail during your stay here. I feel I must reiterate that all protective operations within the Kingdom of Poland remain vested with the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and executed through the Office of State Protection and the Royal Guards. We await your arrival at the Poznan-Lawica Airport alongside the rest of the Turkish delegation.

Kind Regards, Marek Kwiatkowski Minister of Foreign Affairs Kingdom of Poland

Your Excellency I extend my sincere appreciation for the security arrangements. The coordination between the General Directorate of Security and the Office of State Protection will, I am confident, ensure the safety and efficiency of the forthcoming engagement. I look forward to my visit to the Kingdom of Poland and to the opportunity to further strengthen the cordial relations between our two nations. The terms you have outlined are fully acceptable to the Republic of Türkiye. However, I would respectfully request the addition of a fourth operational provision to the approved parameters: that leisure visits undertaken by myself whilst in Poznań, in coordination with my assigned Polish security detail, be included within the permissible scope of movement and protection. I trust this addition will present no difficulty, and I remain grateful for the professionalism and courtesy extended by your government in facilitating this engagement. Regards, Sümeyye Çakı Minister of Foreign Affairs Türkiye

Sümeyye had spent the past week in Ankara in an almost unbroken stream of briefings, courtesy calls, and working lunches in preparation for her journey to the Kingdom of Poland. Now, as the first light of a cold, pale dawn touched the capital, she moved quietly about her bedroom, selecting the last items for her suitcase. Her teenage son, still in his pyjamas, appeared in the doorway with a stack of folded scarves and a small leather-bound notebook he knew she liked to carry on foreign trips. She smiled, taking them from him, and slipped the notebook into her handbag. "Teşekkürler Cezmi" She said, giving him a kiss on the head.

Her husband sat propped up in bed with a heavy wool blanket drawn across his lap, reading through a sheaf of papers. He set them aside to take her suitcase down the wide, carpeted stairs, while she remained to check the final contents of her document folder, official communiqués, briefing notes, and draft treaties.

The February wind pressed against the windows, carrying with it the scent of rain. She slept little that night, lying beside her husband, listening to the faint hiss of radiators and the soft rustle of pages as he read. Sometime after midnight, he placed his book on the nightstand and switched off the light.

At six, the Çakı household stirred to life. Their two children prepared for school while she moved between the kitchen and hallway, exchanging a few light-hearted words with them over warm bread and tea. At the breakfast table, the conversation drifted from lessons and weekend plans to her imminent departure. She explained that she would be away only a few days and she would bring back chocolate if they behaved.

The driver from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived as the children were bundled into their coats and sent off to school. Her husband accompanied her to the airport, where the ministry had readied a sleek Airbus A319CJ, its fuselage marked with the Turkish flag.

Rain beaded the polished tarmac as she and her small delegation ascended the mobile staircase. Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was warm, hushed, and faintly perfumed with strong coffee. As the aircraft climbed into the low clouds, she turned her attention to the files spread before her.

The discussion with her aides centered on the framework of the upcoming talks: the establishment of a trade agreement, potential technology-sharing agreements, visa and trade liberalization, the PAK/PKK threat, and most interestingly, an Eastern European League.

She listened, asked pointed questions, and noted each response in the margins of her papers. The focus of the Prime Minister was likely to build a Mediterranean organization building upon the foundational success with the previous Spanish government under Prime Minister Sanchez. The proposed Eastern European League had changed much of the conversations held back at the Ministry and a growing split of a Mediterranean-focused or an Eastern European focus was growing.

Beyond commerce and protocol, the conversations touched on strategic considerations, the growing Polish interest in co-development projects with Turkish firms, Warsaw’s growing interests in Ankara’s defense exports, and the emerging security threat that the recent bombings in Poland raised.

When the conversation waned, she leaned back and gazed through the oval window at the blanket of cloud below.

Hours later, as the aircraft began its descent toward Poznań–Ławica Airport, the minister collected her things. On the tarmac, embassy staff from Warsaw, and a modest detachment of armed police from the Cabinet Protection Service of the GDB integrated with the OSP liaison team.

The door opened to the cold air of western Poland. Sümeyye stepped down with her chief of staff, offering a measured smile and an outstretched hand to the senior Polish representative. Beyond the cordon, three black Mercedes S-Class sedans waited with their engines running. Once the formal greetings concluded, she stepped into the middle car. The small convoy eased away from the airport, bound for the heart of Poznań and the beginning of her visit.
