Can a UK arrest warrant lead to my detention in Turkey?

A UK arrest warrant has no direct effect in Turkey. However, if the UK has also obtained an Interpol Red Notice, Turkish border police may detain you provisionally upon entry. This provisional detention initiates extradition proceedings before Turkish courts. Having a CCF challenge pending at Interpol — or a Turkish lawyer ready to appear at the extradition court — can be decisive in preventing extradition.
