Moves responsibility for U.S. relations with Turkey inside the State Department from the European and Eurasian bureau to the Near Eastern bureau. The Secretary of State must make this change within 90 days and provide a review report in five years.
It cites concerns about Turkey’s shift away from Europe and NATO, human rights and democracy issues, closer ties with non‑Western powers, and support for Hamas. It also gives the Secretary flexibility to reorganize, modify, or end regional bureaus to better meet U.S. diplomatic goals.
