Öz

I graduated from the International Relations Department of Middle East Technical University. Evidently, pursuing a diplomatic career was one of the most desired options for me and many of my classmates. A couple of months after my graduation in 2005, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it would recruit new diplomats. I applied for and succeeded in the exams and joined the Ministry the same year. For the last 18 years, I have worked at several diplomatic missions including Bahrain, the U.S., and Greece, besides assuming positions in various departments of the Ministry. Finally, in September 2021, I was assigned to Manchester for setting up a new consulate and I have been serving as the Turkish Consul General in this city since then. This is a new experience for me as it is my first chief of mission role in my career.
