Introduction to Turkey

Turkey is a nation at the intersection of Europe and Asia, spanning the Eurasian continent. Ankara serves as its capital. NATO, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the Group of Twenty all have Turkey as a founding member. One of the world's developing economies and one of the nations with the greatest rates of economic growth is Turkey, which boasts a robust industrial foundation. Despite being an Asian nation, Turkey is a contender for membership in the European Union and follows the European model in its politics, economy, culture, and other areas. While preserving its long-standing strategic alliance with the United States, Turkey's diplomatic priorities are on fortifying ties with Western European nations.

Tobacco, cotton, rice, olives, beets, tangerines, livestock, and other agricultural items are the major products of the good agricultural basis. The resources for tourism are very abundant. This is where the three main historical sites of the Ottoman Empire, Eastern Rome, and ancient Greece come together. It is surrounded by the four stunning waters of the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara, and Black Seas.
