The Ministry of Interior[1] or Ministry of the Interior[3] or Interior Ministry[4] (Turkish: İçişleri Bakanlığı lit. Ministry of Internal Affairs) is a government ministry of the Republic of Turkey, responsible for interior security affairs in Turkey.

The current Minister of the Interior is Süleyman Soylu,[5] after the resignation of his predecessor Efkan Ala in August 2016.[6][7]

Functions[edit]

The ministry is responsible for disaster and emergency management, immigration,[1] inspection of local government, gendarmerie and coast guard (in peacetime), and police. The ministry helps to combat human trafficking,[8] smuggling[9] and bootleg alcohol.[10]

Alleged interference in politics[edit]

Although forming a new political party is a constitutional right, the Interior Ministry allegedly blocked the Green Party from standing in the general election due by June 2023.[11][12][13]
