Türkiye Cumhuriyeti

The Republic of Türkiye, founded on 29 October 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, is a democratic, secular, and social state governed by the rule of law. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the republican system was proclaimed after the successful conclusion of the Turkish War of Independence, establishing popular sovereignty as the foundation of governance. With Ankara as its capital, Türkiye has historically held a strategically significant position connecting the continents of Asia and Europe, thereby emerging as an important regional power. Possessing a rich economic, political, and cultural heritage, the country bears the traces of major civilizations such as Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman, alongside its deep-rooted Turkish cultural identity.

Today, Türkiye is an active member of international organizations including NATO, the G20, the United Nations, and the Organization of Turkic States. With a growing economy driven by industry, agriculture, technology, and tourism, the country maintains a strong presence on the global stage. As an economic and cultural hub, major metropolitan centers such as Istanbul contribute significantly to its regional influence. Furthermore, Türkiye ranks among the world’s most visited countries due to its historical and natural wealth. Throughout its more than one hundred years of history, the Republic of Türkiye has undergone numerous social and political transformations. Under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the country continues its trajectory as a rising regional and global power.
