Notes de l'éditeur
“ Turkey – the name means “strong”, “powerful”. [ Room, A. (2006). Placenames Of The World:] Turkey is a land rich in history and cultural wealth. Ancient sites and ruins scattered throughout the country give sufficient proof of each civilization's unique distinction. The world's first known settlement is found in Turkey. Upon the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century, a young man named Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, led his country towards peace and stability that brought about tremendous economic growth and increasing modernization. Through decades of change and growth, Turkey still boasts growing success, living by Atatürk's motto of "Peace at Home, Peace in the World.”
Istanbul, Turkey , where two continents meet. “ One of the world’s most strategic waterways—the strait between Europe & Asia connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and ultimately to the Mediterranean Sea. Today it splits the city of Istanbul in two.” Notice the countries surrounding Turkey.
TURKEY Is a new country in an old land. Known as Anatolia, this part of the empire was the most productive part of the massive Byzantine Empire with its capital in Constantinople. The Ottoman Empire dynasty (1218-1922) endured for six centuries through the reign of thirty-six sultans. The occupation of some parts of Turkey by the Allies in the aftermath of World War I, prompted the establishment of the Turkish National Movement. Under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal, a military commander, the Turkish War of Independence was waged. “ Republic of Turkey" on October, 1923, with the new capital of Ankara. Mustafa Kemal - first President of Turkey, introduced many radical reforms with the aim of founding a new secular republic from the remnants of its Ottoman past.

Edirne is one of the oldest settlements in Turkey, dating back to the Neolithic age 7.000-6.000 B.C. and was also the second largest city of the Ottoman Empire. Hence, its rich cultural heritage Izmir, a city on the Aegean coast is Turkey’s third-largest city and second most important port.
The Church of the Divine Wisdom (Hagia Sophia in Greek) in Istanbul is one of the most impressive and important buildings ever constructed. Events of all kinds have taken their toll on the building over the centuries, although the surviving main structure is essentially that which was first built between 532 and 537. After conquest of the city in 1453, Hagia Sophia was converted to a mosque (Ayasofya Camii), which it remained until the fall of the Ottoman empire in the early twentieth century. It served as Istanbul 's most revered mosque until 1935 when Atatürk , recognizing its world-historical significance, had it proclaimed a museum Source http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/haso/hd_haso.htm
