  Turkey  a Profile


The Turkish Republic was founded in 1923 by her first leader - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Being president until his death, Atatürk linked Turkey's fate to the West through the adoption of a modified Latin alphabet and a western legal system. Since the foundation of the Republic, the Turkish people have concentrated their efforts on the transformation of their country into a pluralistic and secular democracy.

Turkey is a Parliamentary Democracy with a single chamber, the Grand National Assembly of 550 members directly elected for up to five-year terms. The President of the Republic is elected as head of state by members of the Grand National Assembly for a seven-year term. Legislative power is vested in the Grand National Assembly which performs this function on behalf of the Turkish Nation.

Turkey covers an area of 781,000 square kilometres. It is larger than most European countries and exhibits an extremely diversified landscape which is characterised by seven distinct regions. There are 81 administrative provinces governed by local governors appointed by the central government. The capital city is Ankara which is located in the center of the country.
