The National Security Council is the principal government agency used by the President of Turkey, who is the Commander-in-chief, for consideration of national security, military, and foreign policy matters with senior national security officials, and for coordinating these policies among various government agencies.

Like the national security councils of other countries, the MGK develops the national security policy. (ILKHA)
