Turkey has a unique location as an
intersection between Europe and Asia. The total
land of Turkey is 814,578 km2 and the population
is around 68 million according to the census
dated 2005. Turkey has two European and six
Asian countries for neighbours along its land
borders.
Because of its geographical location, the
mainland of Anatolia has always found favor
throughout history, and is the birthplace of
many great civilizations. It has also been
prominent as a centre of commerce because of its
land connections to three continents and the sea
surrounding it on three sides.
Over the past two decades, the Republic of
Turkey has undergone a profound economic
transformation. Combined with an outward
oriented trade policy, the Turkish economy has
been pursuing a progressive growth in most
sectors.
Turkey is a member in various international
organizations like NATO, OECD, WTO and also a
candidate country for EU.
