The Turkish community in Namur
Namur's Turkish community is part of the broader Turkish-Belgian presence across Wallonia, with families who arrived in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the bilateral labour agreements between Belgium and Turkey. These families - now into their third and sometimes fourth generation in Belgium - are established across the Namur region, though older first and second-generation members may still require Turkish interpretation for medical and administrative matters.
More recently arrived Turkish nationals, including skilled professionals and family reunification cases, add to the demand for Turkish interpretation in Namur's courts, CPAS offices and healthcare institutions. As the administrative capital of Wallonia, Namur also concentrates regional institutions that serve Turkish-speaking residents from across the province.

Certified Turkish interpreters for CHR Namur, CPAS, Walloon Parliament, courts and social services. Available across the Namur province.
Available interpretation modes
- Liaison (on-site) : The interpreter attends in person and works consecutively. The preferred mode for court sessions, CPAS interviews and medical consultations where physical presence is essential to the exchange.
- Remote (Zoom/Teams) : Video interpreting for online administrative procedures or institutional meetings with Turkish-speaking partners. Same quality, no travel logistics.
- Telephone : Immediate support for urgent situations - emergency hospital admissions, first contacts with social services or police interviews - when there is no time to organise on-site attendance.
- Consecutive : The speaker pauses after each passage while the interpreter renders the message. Suited to formal hearings, administrative meetings and diplomatic encounters where accuracy takes precedence over speed.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are your Turkish interpreters certified for court proceedings in Namur?
Yes. Our Turkish interpreters working at Namur courts are registered with the National Register of Court Experts (RNEJ) or hold an equivalent recognition from a Court of Appeal. They are trained in legal terminology and bound by strict confidentiality and impartiality obligations.

Do your Turkish interpreters cover specific regional dialects?
