Turkey, which endured an attempted military coup in July that many blame on the US, has engaged APCO Worldwide to foster stronger ties with the US through a PR push.
APCO is charged with providing media relations, stakeholder engagement and strategic communications services in the US "to promote positive relations between the US and the Republic of Turkey," according to the contract.
The initial two-week contract from Aug. 1 to Aug. 15 is worth $74,200.
Turkey tapped APCO to communicate with media and other organizations to boost the countries' relationship.
Many Turks believe a Muslim cleric living in the US, Fethullah Gulen, was behind the coup attempt. Gulen has denied involvement.
