  Ankara Agreement is a special agreement that provides the opportunity of living in the U.K. for just the citizens of the Republic of Turkey by setting up a business and living in the U.K. Ankara Agreement was signed in 1963 between the states that had partnership agreements with the European Community and the U.K. Other countries included in the agreement have been excluded from the scope of the agreement since they have become members of the European Union over time, so they don't need Ankara Agreement anymore. This is why at this moment just the citizens of Turkey Republic can benefit from this agreement. If you are not a Turkish citizen, you can not benefit from Ankara Agreement. The ECAA is based on the U.K. immigration law of 1971.
