ET inline with TK
I have a whirlwind of a trip soon and wanted to make sure I can interline baggage.
So I had booked a trip on TK from HKG>IST>TXL
Last minute biz trip requires me to head to Nairobi so have a booking on ET that returns to HKG about 6 hours before my TK flight departs.
HKG>ADD>NBO
NBO>ADD>HKG
Does ET and TK have an interline agreement so I can have the agent in NBO send through to TXL?
These are two sep tix.

All Star Alliance carriers interline with each other.
Most will accomodate separate tickets.
However, with 6 hours in HKG, why not collect and re-check? It is safer
on a 4 leg journey, and HKG immigration is usually quite fast.

I can see a case for it since TK counters won't be open yet to re-check until about 3 hours before the flight. This is my most common reason for wanting interlined bags on long layovers. Then I'm free to do whatever I want on the layover without worrying about lugging or storing my bags. In the case of 6 hours, I'd likely head to Hong Kong station and get some food and a beer in town.
