The National Intelligence Organization (Turkish: Millî İstihbarat Teşkilatı), also known by its Turkish initials MIT or MİT, or colloquially as the Organization (Turkish: Teşkilat), is an intelligence agency of the Turkish government tasked with gathering information of national interests. It gathers information for the Presidency and the Armed Forces about the current and potential threats from inside and outside against all the elements that make up Turkey's integrity, constitutional order, existence, independence, security and national power and takes precautions when necessary.
The MIT is under the provision of the Presidency. It works closely with the Turkish diplomatic missions overseas.
