Turkey – Quick Facts
The trans-continental Republic of Turkey, straddles south-eastern Europe and western Asia, the division being the Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara and the Dardenelles. It borders Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Whilst the capital is Ankara, the largest city is Istanbul which holds the unique position as the only pan-continental city in the world.
Over the centuries, Turkey’s geographical position has given it strategic significance, as well as control over the entrance to the Black Sea. Turkey was the centre of the Ottoman Empire until the establishment of the secular republic in 1920s, by Kemal Ataturk.
Since 2018, Turkey has been a presidential republic, divided into 81 provinces. It operates on a multi-party system and is a secular state with no specific religion. It has undergone some upheaval since the 1920s, and progress towards democracy and economic development was often halted. The population as a whole is very heavily urbanised. One fifth of Turkey’s population is made up of Kurdish peoples.
Turkey’s economy and regional power is driven largely by industry and the service sector, although agriculture accounts for a significant portion of the labour force. Industry comprises areas such as the automotive, textiles, electronics and mining. Within the service sector, tourism has grown consistently over the years and Turkey is now in the top ten most-visited countries.
Turkish culture is very diverse and a true marrying of Greco-Roman, Islamic, Ottoman, Anatolian and Western influences. There are 18 UNESCO world heritage sites in Turkey. From painting and carpet weaving, through to music, literature, theatre and architecture, Turkey has made its mark on the world and continues to do so.
It is a member of the United Nations, NATO and is a candidate for membership of the European Union.
