Turkey (i/ˈtɜːrki/; Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ), is a parliamentary republic in Eurasia, largely located in Western Asia, with the smaller portion of Eastern Thrace in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Syria and Iraq to the south; Iran, Armenia, and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the east; Georgia to the northeast; Bulgaria to the northwest; and Greece to the west. The Black Sea is to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles (which together form the Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between Thrace and Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia. Turkey's location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia makes it a country of significant geostrategic importance.
Turkey has been inhabited since the paleolithic age, including various ancient Anatolian civilizations, Aeolian, Dorian and Ionian Greeks, Thracians, Armenians, and Assyrians. After Alexander the Great's conquest, the area was Hellenized, a process which continued under the Roman Empire and its transition into the Byzantine Empire. The Seljuk Turks began migrating into the area in the 11th century, starting the process of Turkification, which was greatly accelerated by the Seljuk victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. The Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion in 1243, upon which it disintegrated into several small Turkish beyliks.
Republican People's Party may be:
The People's Party, Peoples Party, or Popular Party, is any of several political parties claiming to speak for the people. People's Parties in various countries run the gamut from left to right. In Europe it often represents centre-right and Christian democrat or national conservative parties. Translations into English of the names of the various countries' parties are not always consistent, but People's Party is the most common.
CHP may refer to:
A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, recreation, or as part of a festival or other commemoration of a special occasion. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing or other forms of entertainment. In many Western countries, parties for teens and adults are associated with drinking alcohol such as beer, wine or distilled spirits.
Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event, such as a birthday party, a Super Bowl party, or a St. Patrick’s Day party. Parties of this kind are often called celebrations. A party is not necessarily a private occasion. Public parties are sometimes held in restaurants, pubs, beer gardens, nightclubs or bars, and people attending such parties may be charged an admission fee by the host. Large parties in public streets may celebrate events such as Mardi Gras or the signing of a peace treaty ending a long war.

December 04, 2013 Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Chairman, Republican People's Party of Turkey (CHP) Turkey's foreign policy and growing regional posture has attracted much attention and controversy over the past decade. In this Forum, the leader of Turkey's main opposition party, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, will outline his critique of the Erdoğan government's foreign policy, and his vision for a renewed Turkish foreign policy. In recent years, Turkey has been criticized for sacrificing its traditional role as a secular, democratic and impartial actor on the global stage. As a result, far from "zero problems," Turkey finds itself with an abundance of diplomatic crises and national security problems. To be a true regional leader, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu argues, Turkey must live up to, and project, the secular...

Conference "Rejuvenating Peace Processes: Colombia, Philippines, Indonesia" Panel 5: Lessons Learned for Turkey: What Next? 15.October.2016, Istanbul In recent years, we have witnessed peaceful resolutions of some of the long-lasting conflicts around the world. Colombia, the Philippines, and Indonesia are some of these outstanding examples. Colombia during its 52 year conflict had several peace negotiations, but none has ever before come so close to achieving peace. Because of its contemporary significance as well as actors’ insistence on peace, we found it valuable to discuss Colombia’s experiences. The Filipino example is interesting because of the facilitation of the Islamic actors and significant because of Turkish actors' involvement as international observers. It is also ideal for i...
