Turkey Travel Doc - Part 01

Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye), known officially as the Republic of Turkey (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti (help·info)), is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in western Asia and Thrace (Rumelia) in the Balkan region of southeastern Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhichevan) and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus are to the south; the Aegean Sea and Archipelago are to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. Separating Anatolia and Thrace are the Sea of Marmara and the Turkish Straits (the Bosporus and the Dardanelles), which are commonly reckoned to delineate the border between Asia and Europe, thereby making Turkey transcontinental.[5]

Due to its strategic location astride two continents, Turkey's culture has a unique blend of Eastern and Western tradition. A powerful regional presence in the Eurasian landmass with strong historic, cultural and economic influence in the area between Europe in the west and Central Asia in the east, Russia in the north and the Middle East in the south, Turkey has come to acquire increasing strategic significance.

Turkey is a democratic, secular, unitary, constitutional republic whose political system was established in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, following the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I. Since then, Turkey has become increasingly integrated with the West through membership in organizations such as the Council of Europe (1949), NATO (1952), OECD (1961), OSCE (1973) and the G20 industrial nations (1999). Turkey began full membership negotiations with the European Union in 2005, having been an associate member of the EEC since 1963, and having reached a customs union agreement in 1995. Meanwhile, Turkey has continued to foster close political, economic and industrial relations with the Eastern world, particularly with the states of Southwest, Central and East Asia. Turkey is classified as a developed country by the CIA and as a regional power by political scientists and economists worldwide.

Even this video is not telling anything about Turkey. When you look you only seeing grand bazaar, women with headscurf. But Turkey is more modern that you think.

@MrAugustus88 You are wrong. Happily As scripts of Turks proove Turks were in Anatolia thousands of years ago. These scripts are used as well in the old turkic scripts in central asia and they all can be read in the language of turks which was denied and hidden so far.But lies &oppression do not last forever. That's the world works. The lie that turks first came to anatolia in 1071 was produced by imperialists who were aware of Turks' great history and influence. All lies will be crushed soon.

Henry Morgenthau, the United States ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1913 to 1916 accused turks of a campaign of terrorizing, cruel torturing, driving of women into harems, debauchery of innocent girls, the sale of many of them at 80 cents each, the murdering of hundreds of thousands and the deportation to and starvation in the desert of other hundreds of thousands, the destruction of hundreds of villages and many cities" to annihilate the Armenian, Greek and Syrian Christians of Turkey.

@SancharKhan I would like to think that modern doesn't necessarily mean "no headscarves"? Wouldn't you ? ^_^

[TheGamerHakan]

This video is soo bad,its only showing the grand bazaars and the womens with headscurf.I hate them(Im Turkish)

[anarmehtievful]

@SancharKhan Yes, Turkey is a very modern country, thats why many churches were converted into mosques, many ethnic mminorities had adopted Turkish surnames in order to avoid indirect discrimination, access jobs, education, careers, and medicals. Moreover, Turkey is a very modern country because the Western provinces are well developed, whilst the rest of the country still live in another Century.

@SancharKhan But this is Turkey anyway...
