The National Security Council (MGK) is the principal government agency used by the President of Turkey, the Commander-in-chief, to consider national security, military, and foreign policy matters with senior national security officials and coordinate these policies among various government agencies.

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