Turkey ... the most beautiful country of the
Middle East….
I’m going to introduce my country from my
point of view.
Turkey
Turkey
officially the republic of Turkey located in the in Western Asia and in
southeastern Europe. The population of
the country is estimated to reach 80 million. The official language is Turkish. 95% of the population is Muslim but the
Turkey is secular and constitutional republic which is the unique example in
the Middle East. The founder of the republic is Mustafa Kemal ATATURK, who is
one the most important leaders who lived in the 20th century. He
created modern Turkey from the ashes of an Empire. Ataturk means “father of
Turks”, and still he is seen the most powerful figure in the country.
A brief History of the Country
Turkey is one
of the oldest permanently settled regions in the world. Various ancient civilizations
such as The Hittites, The Lydians, The Urartu were born in Anatolia. Since the beginning of the history, Anatolia
has been governed by different civilization of the world. The Turkish or Turkic population has been
present in Anatolia since 4.000 years. But Anatolia has been governed by the
Muslim-Turkish, The Seljuks since 1071. After the entrance of Muslim-Turkish
tribes to Anatolia, the Turkic-Turkmen population started to convert to Islam. From 1071 Muslim-Turks became one of the
important powers in Anatolia and they founded a new state which is called
Anatolian Seljuks.
Over time
Anatolian Seljuks fell down and a new and the most powerful empire of the time
which is called “Ottamans”. The Ottomans conquered Constantinople (Istanbul),
the capital city of the Byzantine–East Roman Empire. The empire expanded of its
borders from East Europe to Middle East. The empire fell down in 1922 after the
First World War, and modern Turkey was born with a new revolution that created
a new Turkish society.
