Turkey is a signor of both the UN Convention on Child rights and The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and
Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, however as ı remember US is not a party of the former and anyway the latter is in question for a minority of European Countries.

An order decreed by a US court may be claimed for its implementation(tenfiz) or it may have as a minimum nature of a strict evidence(tanıma) for a suit to be filed here in Turkey Courts,as far as it is in conformity with the public order in Turkey and the other requirements put down by the obligatory norms.

Child abduction, whether national or transnational, is not permitted in Turkey ,as it should be so in a developing country which is in an ongoing process of democratization and internationalization as well as harmonization of norms with European democracy and way of thought.
