Turkey is present in Anatolian region of West Eurasia and associated as an integral part of the Greater Middle East region. Turkey have a very colourful history and Turkish culture is a mix of Ottoman, Greek and western influences.
The nation is surrounded by seas on three sides amidst the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, and the Sea of Marmara, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's biggest city and main commercial and cultural centre.
