# AI tells someone in Turkey to call 911 in an emergency

## Root Cause

Turkey does not use 911. Since 2021 the single emergency number 112 covers police, fire, and ambulance nationwide. It is free from any phone.

## Workarounds

1. **Use Turkey's real emergency numbers.** (96% success)
   ```
   All emergencies (police, fire, ambulance): 112.
   ```
2. **112 operators offer some English; state your city and district first.** (85% success)
   ```
   Call 112 and give your il/ilce (province/district) and address.
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **Dial 911 in Turkey expecting to reach emergency services** — 911 is not the emergency number in Turkey. The single emergency number is 112 for all services. A 911 call does not connect to local police, fire, or ambulance. (95% fail)
- **Dial older numbers like 155 or 110 assuming they are still primary** — Turkey consolidated emergency services under 112 in 2021; legacy numbers now route through 112, so 112 is the number to know. (40% fail)
