HISTORY
When discussing history it is always difficult to know from which period to actually
begin. The earlier civilizations of Anatolia cannot be ignored. Some historians
take the advent of the Turks into Anatolia 6000 BC. It has to be noted that
civilizations are never built without foundations. Just like a wall made of bricks,
they are all established upon former civilizations. Therefore it is quite possible to
see traces of the very earliest cultures inherent in those that followed.
LANGUAGE
The official language in Turkey is Turkish and this is spoken about 95 % of the
population . About 5 % of the Turkish people who come from different ethnic
origins, speak their mother tongues in daily life besides Turkish. Turkish is a branch
of Ural-Altaic languages. These were originally spoken by the
Altai people who lived in the steppe area around the Altai mountains which form
part of the border between China, Mongolia and Russia.
Culture of Turkey
The nation was modernized primarily by Mustafa Kemal
Atatürk starting from 1923. As he transformed a religiondriven former Ottoman Empire into a modern nation-state
with a strong separation of state and religion, a
corresponding increase in the methods of artistic
expression arose. During the first years of the republic, the
government invested a large amount of resources into fine
arts such as paintings, sculpture and architecture. This was
done as both a process of modernization and of creating a
cultural identity. Because of the different historical factors
defining the Turkish identity, the culture of Turkey combines
clear efforts to be "modern" and Western, with a desire to
maintain traditional religious and historical values.
Tourism in Turkey is focused largely on a variety of historical sites, and on seaside
resorts along its Aegean and Mediterranean Sea coasts. In the recent years,
Turkey has also become a popular destination for culture, spa, and health care
tourism. In 2011, Turkey attracted more than 31.5 million foreign tourists ,ranking
as the 6th most popular tourist destination in the world.
Turkey is divided into 7 geographical regions :
THE BLACK SEA REGION is a mountain area in the north.
THE MARMARA REGION covers the European part as
well as the northwest of the Anatolian plain.
THE AEGEAN REGION extends from the Aegean coast to the inner
parts of western Anatolia.
THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION is located in the south of Anatolia.
THE CENTRAL ANATOLIA REGION is exactly in the middle of
Turkey and is less mountainous when compared to the other
regions.
THE EASTERN ANATOLIA REGION is the largest and highest region
The Turkish cuisine has their roots in the Ottoman cuisine and the food taste like
Central Asian , caucasian , Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines, but
the variation is huge through the whole country depending on witch area you are in.

and fish too. The Black Sea areas mostly has fish and the southeast has lots of
spices and the famous kebabs, mezes and dough based desserts such as baklava
