 Turkey,
officially the Republic of Turkey, is a Eurasian country
that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in Southwestern
Asia and the Balkan region of Southeastern Europe. Turkey
borders eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece
to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Iran and
the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the east; and
Iraq and Syria to the southeast. In addition, it borders
the Black Sea to the north; the Aegean Sea to the west
and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Turkey also contains
the Sea of Marmara that is used by geographers to mark
the border between Europe and Asia, thus making the country
transcontinental.
Turkey is a democratic, secular, constitutional republic
whose political system was established in 1923 under the
leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atat?rk following the fall
of the Ottoman Empire. It is a founding member of the
United Nations,[1] the OIC,[2] the OECD[3] and the OSCE,[4]
a member state of the Council of Europe since 1949[5]
and of the NATO since 1952,[6] and is currently in accession
negotiations with the European Union, being an associate
member since 1964 [7].
Due to its strategic location straddling Europe and Asia,
Turkey has been a historical crossroad between eastern
and western cultures.
