About Turkey
Turkey is a transcontinental country mostly located on the Anatolian Peninsula in western Asia, and a smaller part on the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. Eastern Thrace, the European part of Turkey, is separated from Anatolia by the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. Istanbul, which straddles Europe and Asia, is the largest city in the country, while Ankara is the capital. Turkey ranks among the emerging markets that are characterized by a dynamic and diversified economy, an increase in its population, and a high proportion of young people. Turkey has succeeded in reducing the unemployment rate to 9.1%. The results obtained by Turkey as a result of its economic growth and reducing the number of unemployed raised its value to take its place among the best European countries.
