\"turkey\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, Turkey’s strategically important location has given it major influence in the region – and control over the entrance to the Black Sea. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria<\/a> to the northwest; Greece<\/a> to the west; Georgia<\/a> to the northeast; Armenia<\/a>, Iran<\/a> and the Azerbaijani<\/a> exclave<\/a> of Nakhchivan<\/a> to the east; and Iraq<\/a> and Syria<\/a> to the south. The Mediterranean Sea<\/a> is to the south; the Aegean Sea<\/a> to the west; and the Black Sea<\/a> to the north. The Sea of Marmara<\/a>, the Bosphorus<\/a> and the Dardanelles<\/a> (which together form the Turkish Straits<\/a>) demarcate the boundary between Thrace<\/a> and Anatolia<\/a>; they also separate Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

Turkey is a democratic<\/a>, secular<\/a>, unitary<\/a>, constitutional republic<\/a> with a diverse cultural heritage<\/a>. The country’s official language is Turkish<\/a>, a Turkic language<\/a> spoken natively by approximately 85 percent of the population. 70\u201380 percent of the population are ethnic Turks<\/a>; the remainder consists of legally recognized<\/a> (Armenians<\/a>, Greeks<\/a> and Jews<\/a>) and unrecognized (Kurds<\/a>, Circassians<\/a>, Albanians<\/a>, Bosniaks<\/a>, Georgians<\/a>, etc.) minorities The vast majority of the population is Muslim<\/a>. Turkey is a member of the UN<\/a>, NATO<\/a>, OECD<\/a>, OSCE<\/a>, OIC<\/a> and the G-20<\/a>. After becoming one of the first members<\/a> of the Council of Europe<\/a> in 1949, Turkey became an associate member<\/a> of the EEC<\/a> in 1963, joined the EU Customs Union<\/a> in 1995 and started full membership negotiations<\/a> with the European Union<\/a> in 2005. Turkey’s growing economy and diplomatic initiatives have led to its recognition as a regional power<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The coastal areas of Turkey bordering the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas have a temperate Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters. The coastal areas bordering the Black Sea have a temperate Oceanic climate with warm, wet summers and cool to cold, wet winters. The coastal areas bordering the Sea of Marmara, which connects the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea, have a transitional climate between a temperate Mediterranean climate and a temperate Oceanic climate with warm to hot, moderately dry summers and cool to cold, wet winters. Snow falls on the coastal areas of the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea almost every winter, but usually melts in no more than a few days. However snow is rare in the coastal areas of the Aegean Sea and very rare in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea. Mountains close to the coast prevent Mediterranean influences from extending inland, giving the central Anatolian plateau of the interior of Turkey a continental climate with sharply contrasting seasons.<\/p>\n

Winters on the eastern part of the plateau are especially severe. Temperatures of \u221230 to \u221240 \u00b0C (\u221222 to \u221240 \u00b0F) can occur in eastern Anatolia. Snow may remain at least 120 days of the year. In the west, winter temperatures average below 1 \u00b0C (34 \u00b0F). Summers are hot and dry, with temperatures often above 30 \u00b0C (86 \u00b0F) in the day. The driest regions are the Konya plain and the Malatya plain, where annual rainfall is often less than 300 millimetres (12 in). May is generally the wettest month, whereas July and August are the driest.<\/p>\n

Educations<\/h1>\n

The Ministry of National Education<\/a> is responsible for pre-tertiary education.\u00a0 This is compulsory and lasts twelve years: four years each of primary school, middle school and high school. Less than half of 25-34 year old Turks have completed at least high school<\/a>, compared with an OECD<\/a> average of over 80 percent. Basic education in Turkey is considered to lag behind other OECD countries, with significant differences between high and low performers. There were several universities if you interested to study in Turkey:<\/p>\n

    \nOne of the main characteristics of Istanbul University is its leadership in higher education for centuries. It has played a guiding and influential role in the social and cultural life of our country. We can clearly see this when we trace the line of historical development of the University.

Education began to be available in theological schools (“medrese\/madrasah” as they were then called) and, until the end of the 16th century, these schools were instrumental in educating the ruling cadres of the Ottoman society.<\/p>\n
