Country Info Turkey Introduction Turkey General Data Turkey Maps Turkey Culture ... Turkey Time and Date Turkey Culture Back to Top The official image of turkish society promoted by the ruling elite since the 1920s is one of relative homogeneity. This image has been enshrined in successive constitutions of the republic, including the 1982 document, in which it is stated that "the Turkish state, with its territory and nation, is an indivisible entity. Its language is Turkish." In reality, however, Turkish society is a mosaic of diverse and at times contending ethnic and linguistic groups. The question, "Who is a Turk?," continued to provoke controversy in the mid-1990s. Sociologists and other scholars, both Turkish and foreign, have noted that a majority of the populationestimated at the end of 1994 at 61.2 millionaccepts as true Turks only those individuals whose native tongue is Turkish and who adhere to Sunni Islam. This definition excludes a sizable minority of Turkish citizens from consideration as true Turks. The largest group within this minority is the Kurds, the overwhelming majority of whom speak Kurdish, an Indo-European language related to Persian, as their native tongue. In 1994 estimates of the size of the Kurdish minority in Turkey ranged from 10 to 20 percent of the country's total population. Since 1990 demands by Kurdish political leaders that the Kurdish minority be permitted to read, write, and speak Kurdish have created a major political issue in Turkey. Although most adult Kurds are Sunni Muslims, perhaps as much as one-third of the total Kurdish population in Turkey belongs to a Shia Muslim sect known as Alevi. In addition to the Kurdish Alevi, many of the nation's estimated 700,000 to 1 million Arabs are Alevi. The Alevi Arabsmost of whom live in or near Hatay Provincealso are known as Nusayri and maintain discreet ties with the Alawi of neighboring Syria. A significant number of Alevi are ethnic Turks.

39. About Turkey; Culture - Argeus Tourism & Travel Atatürk s turkey is living proof of this ideal a country rich in its own nationalculture, open to the heritage of world civilization, and at home in the http://www.argeus.com.tr/culture.htm

CULTURE AND THE ARTS Ataturk's Life National Liberator Founder of the Turkish Republic Legal Transformation ... Peace at Home, Peace in the World "We shall make the expansion and rise of Turkish culture in every era the mainstay of the Republic." Among the prominent statesmen of the 20th Century few articulated the supreme importance of culture as did Atatürk who stated: " Culture is the foundation of the Turkish Republic." His view of culture encompassed the nation's creative legacy as well as the best values of world civilization. It stressed personal and universal humanism. " Culture", he said, " is a basic element in being a person worthy of humanity", and described Turkey's ideological thrust as "a creation of patriotism blended with a lofty humanist ideal." To create the best synthesis, Atatürk underlined the need for the utilization of all the viable elements in the national heritage, including the ancient indigenous cultures, and the arts and techniques of the entire world civilization, past and present. He gave impetus to the study of the earlier civilizations of Anatolia -including Hittite, Phrygian, Lydian, and others. Pre-Islamic culture of the Turks became the subject of extensive research which proved that, long before their Seljuk and Ottoman Empires, the Turks had already created a civilization of their own. Atatürk also stressed the folk arts of the countryside as the wellspring of Turkish creativity. The visual and plastic arts (whose development had been arrested by some bigoted Ottoman officials who claimed that the depiction of the human form was idolatry) flourished during Atatürk's Presidency. Many museums were opened. Architecture gained new vigor. Classical western music, opera and ballet as well as the theater took impressive strides. Several hundred "People's Houses" and the " People's Rooms" all over Turkey gave local people and youngsters a wide variety of artistic activities, sports, and other cultural affairs. Book and magazine publication enjoyed a boom. The film industry started to grow. In all walks of cultural life, Atatürk's inspiration created an upsurge.
