Turkey

TURKEY
This country has always been the dividing line between East and West. The Persian king Xerxes, the Greeks and the Romans, as well as Alexander the Great, waged war in this land that was called „Asia Minor“. It was here that Caesar spoke his famous words: "Veni, vidi, vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered). Turkey is a paradise of sun, sea, lakes and mountains. Any European who wants to fully enjoy life here must be prepared to leave his hectic European lifestyle behind. If you are generous and understanding, you will simply laugh away the little things and allow thýs fascýnatýng country’s charm to work its magýc on you. Enjoy all four seasons in this wonderful country, between Europe and Asia. Turkey is the only country in the world to be spread over two continents (4% of the landmass and half of Istanbul lies in Europe, the rest is in Asia). There are around 1,500 archaeological excavation sites, 3 natural wonders (the first is Pamukkale; the second Peri Bacalri, Fairy Wonderland in Ürgüp - Cappadocia; the third is the Paradise-Hell Cave (Cennet – Cehennem Maðarasý) in Mersin). A man-made wonder of the world (Sümela Manastir; a Christian monastery in Trabzon) to be seen and to be wondered at.
Great changes came about followýng the overthrow of the Caliphate in 1922, by Kemal Atatürk, the father of the Turks. He brought about many reforms in the country. He replaced the Arabic alphabet and replaced it with the Latin one. He introduced compulsory attendance at schools and banned the fez (the male head covering). Women no longer had to wear the veil, were gýven political rights and female equality was guaranteed. Name-giving was also reformed. Since 1934, surnames have been in use. The death of Kemal Atatürk in 1938 dealt a severe blow to Turkey. Atatürk is still highly revered today, not only because he gave Turks a new life, but he also gave them a new image in the eyes of the world. For this reason, there is an Atatürk Monument in every town and city. Despite Westernisation, Turkey is and will remain an Islamic country. The proverbial friendliness has its roots in the old traditions and you should welcome ýt. Everyone, who comes into close contact with Turks will value their worth, their pride and their unbelievable talent for improvisation as number one in the world. Turkey is like an " Open Sesame" and is a country where you are quickly made to feel at home.
