The National Intelligence Organization (Turkish: Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı MİT) is the governmental intelligence organization of Turkey. It was established in 1965 to replace the National Security Service.According to the former director of Foreign Operations Yavuz Ataç the military presence in the organization is negligible. This is a recent development as the agency has a military heritage. In 1990 the fraction of military personnel was 35%.
