The Republic of Turkey is a secular, predominantly moderate Muslim nation located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia where the Bosphorous Straits connect the Black Sea to the Golden Horn. Turkey, with a proud ancestral heritage that goes back centuries, has now developed into a modern, forward-looking democratic nation.

Turkey shares its borders with Greece, Bulgaria, Azerbidjan, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Armenia and Georgia. The Black Sea, The Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea all touch Turkey's shores. Turkey is larger than many countries in western Europe. It is approximately four hundred miles long from north to south and nearly one thousand miles wide from east to west. The Turkish coastline is approximately eighty-five thousand kilometers in perimeter.
