Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Slovakia–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Slovakia and Turkey. In 1993, Turkey was one of the first states to formally recognize both the Slovakia and Czech Republic as separate, and sovereign states after the dissolution.[1] Diplomatic relations and the Turkish Embassy in Bratislava were established on January 4, 1993.[1] Slovakia has an embassy in Ankara and a consulate-general in Istanbul. Before the 1990s split, Turkey held close but also tense relations with Czechoslovakia, specifically during the Cold War due to NATO and the rest of Europe pushing and supporting anti-communist sentiment and approach for its members, such as Turkey, towards Eastern Bloc (Warsaw Pact) countries of which Czechoslovakia was a part of.
