Turkey, officially known as the Republic of Türkiye, is a nation that straddles the border between Southeast Europe and West Asia.

The majority of its inhabitants identify as ethnic Turks, although there is a significant Kurdish minority. Ankara serves as both Turkey’s capital and its second-largest city, with Istanbul being the largest city, as well as the epicenter of its economic and financial activities.

This land, one of the earliest known settled regions on Earth, has a rich heritage, boasting remarkable Neolithic sites like Göbekli Tepe, and it has been inhabited by various ancient civilizations, including the Hattians, Hittites, Anatolian peoples, Greeks, Assyrians, Persians, and many others.

The cultural tapestry of Turkey is deeply woven with the threads of centuries of history and the contributions of diverse communities that have called its lands home over millennia. The nation boasts 21 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and stands as the world’s fourth most frequently visited country.
