Did you know?

COLORS OF THE TURKISH CULTURE:  Red and white (colors of the flag), as well as turquoise (color of the Mediterranean Sea), are symbolic colors.  MOST POPULAR FOODS:  Doner and shish kabob, borek, vegetable dishes cooked in olive oil, mezes, baklava  and yogurt constitute an integral part of Turkish cuisine.  GREATEST SOURCE OF CULTURAL PRIDE:  Traditions of food, music, and dance spanning the thousand-year-old Anatolian heritage, influenced by the rapid transition from a 600-year old sultanate (the Ottoman Empire) to democracy and the immediate implementation of major reforms initiated by an exceptional leader, M. K. Ataturk, are a great source of cultural pride.  LIVELIHOOD:  In addition to its vast natural resources (fishing and mining), growing industry sector (textiles), imports and exports, and international business ventures that enhance the livelihood of Turks, the country's hospitality sector is well developed as it attracts many tourists each year.
