This Wikipedia article traces Holy See representation in Turkey from the Apostolic Delegation to Constantinople, established in 1868 under the Ottoman Empire, through its renaming to Apostolic Delegation to Turkey in 1930, its elevation to Apostolic Internunciature in 1960 and to full Apostolic Nunciature in 1966, and records that Ataturk's secularizing reforms abolished the Ottoman millet system that had protected Christian minorities and that Catholic bishops still lack straightforward legal recognition under Turkish law. It names no concordat between Turkey and the Holy See.

A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for the succession of diplomatic titles from Ottoman era delegation to full nunciature and the ongoing legal recognition dispute, of the kind Wikipedia sources reliably from Holy See material, hence the middle rather than the bottom tier.
