Lets take a look at that place you may want to visit. Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye or also known as Anatolia) is a country in both Europe and Asia. The area of Turkey is about 780,000 square kilometres. Its population is about 71 million. Turkey's official language is Turkish. Turkey is a democracy. There are 81 cities in Turkey. The Turkish money is New Turkish Lira The capital city is Ankara, a city in the central Anatolia. The cultural and economic center is Istanbul. In the past Istanbul was known as Constantinople. Turkey was founded in 1923 by Atatürk after the war of independence. Before that, Turkish Republic was part of the Ottoman Empire. Atatürk made many changes that made Turkey more modern and more western. Because of its place, in history the land has been home to many civilizations, like the Hittites and the Byzantine Roman Empire. Many important events in the history of Christianity happened in Turkey. Modern Turkey has a strong economy. It has 7th largest army (4th largest ground army) in the world. Its warm climate lets many kinds of food crops grow, and livestock and forestry are important industries. Turkey is one of the countries in the world that can make enough food to feed itself. There is a strong manufacturing sector making airplanes, electronics, cars, clothing and textiles for home and for other countries. These days, Turkey is a popular place for tourists to visit. It has hundreds of kilometres of beautiful beaches on its Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and many important historical places. Religion About 99% of Turkey's people are Muslim. Many are Sunni Muslims, and some are Alevi Muslims (which is part of Shi'a Islam). There are also a few Christian and Jewish people living in Turkey. Turkey is a secular country, meaning it is not religious, and the government does not present a religion. Everyone has the right to practice their religion freely in the country, however there are some restrictions. People are not allowed to wear the Muslim headscarf in schools or important buildings. Non-Muslim people are not allowed to be part of the government, and Muslims who change their religion, are sometimes locked up. Turkey wants to join the European Union. The EU says that before Turkey can join, it must resolve its human rights issues first, and also bring its economical and political system to equal that of the EU. But some say that the reason that Turkey was denied membership was because of its 99% muslim majority. Economy The economy of Turkey develops every year.Turkey is a member of OECD and G-20. Export Turkey`s exports amounted to 73.5 billion dollars in 2005. In 2007 exports grew to 106 billion dollars. By May 2008 the exports of the previous year had reached more than 110 billion dollars. The main language in Turkey is the Turkish language. However, there are also people who speak Kurdish, although they are a minority, and some speak Greek. Turkish lira The national currency of Turkey is the New Turkish lira, but on January 1 2009 the word "new" will be deleted from the name of the currency. Exchange rates: 1 Dollar = 1.18 New Turkish Liras (16 August 2008) 1 Euro = 1.73 New Turkish Liras (16 August 2008) 1 Pound = 2.21 New Turkish Liras (16 August 2008) A holiday is a special day. The word "holiday" comes from the words "holy" and "day" and originally meant a special religious day. During holidays, people can do many things. They can travel to other places (called a "vacation" in North America) or celebrate. Sometimes on holidays people do not have to go to school or the office. Long holidays without having to go to work * Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day (People's Republic of China) * Golden-week (Japan) * The Majówka, also called the Picnic (Poland) * Holy Week, sometimes with Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Easter Monday and Good Friday (Ireland) * A long weekend, when a holiday is next to the weekend (Australia and England). In the United States, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, and Washington's Birthday are sometimes moved to Monday so they also create a 3-day weekend. Calendars sometimes mark these holidys twice. For instance, in 2006, Veteran's Day in America is on Saturday 2006 November 11. Veteran's Day (observed) is also on the calendar; it is Friday 2006 November 10.
