For the past few years I have been a frequent visitor to Turkey but only last month did I have occasion to visit the Malta consulate in Taksim.
I needed to renew my daughter’s passport and was given an appointment to call at the consulate at my convenience.
I was very happily surprised at the professional advice and support I was given at the consulate.
The name of the very well-mannered Turkish clerk escapes me but I was greeted personally by Franklin Aquilina, the Consul General. I had never met him before but would like to put on record my sincere thanks and appreciation for the assistance given.
I urge fellow Maltese travelling to Turkey to use the consulate services whenever needed as this office makes me proud to be Maltese.
