Will Turkey extradite me to a country that is not party to the European Convention on Extradition?

Turkey can and does extradite to non-Convention states under bilateral treaties or ad hoc arrangements. Law No. 6706 permits extradition based on reciprocity principles even absent a formal treaty. Countries such as Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan have successfully obtained extraditions from Turkey in non-political cases. The absence of a treaty relationship does not provide automatic protection — it simply means the requesting state must satisfy additional procedural requirements and demonstrate reciprocity. Defence strategy in such cases focuses on the lack of human rights safeguards in the requesting state’s judicial system.
