Introduction to Turkey

Turkey (officially the Republic of Türkiye) is situated at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. It is bordered by the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west, granting it a geopolitically and strategically vital position. As a crucial corridor for economic and trade flows between Asia, Europe, and Africa, Turkey connects a market of 1.3 billion people and USD 7.9 trillion in trade.

As a democratic constitutional republic, Turkey is increasingly integrated with the West through its membership in organizations such as the Council of Europe, NATO, the OECD, and the G20 major economies. It also fosters close cultural, political, economic, and industrial relations through its participation in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Economic Cooperation Organization.
