Turkey’s Financial Sanctions Lists: What You Need to Know

As of December 31, 2020, at 23:00, this regime is no longer in force.

Introduction to the Turkish Financial Sanctions Lists

The Turkish financial sanctions lists were introduced by HM Treasury on November 12, 2019. The list aimed to restrict the flow of funds to and from Turkey in response to human rights concerns and alleged breaches of international law.

Targeted Individuals and Entities

The sanctions targeted a range of individuals and entities, including:

• Government officials
• Military leaders
• Businesspeople with ties to the Turkish government

These individuals were designed to prevent the transfer of funds or other financial assets that could support their activities.

Withdrawal of Sanctions

However, on January 4, 2021, HM Treasury withdrew this publication, effectively ending the sanctions regime. The move came after the UK government announced its intention to review and update its approach to sanctions against Turkey.

Updates to the Turkish Financial Sanctions Lists

The Turkish financial sanctions lists underwent several updates during their operational period. The most recent update was made on November 9, 2020, which included a notice from HM Treasury regarding changes to the list of sanctioned individuals and entities.

Previous updates were made on:

• February 28, 2020
• November 12, 2019 (when the list was first published)

Throughout its operational period, the sanctions regime aimed to promote accountability for human rights abuses and alleged breaches of international law in Turkey.
