A bit about Turkey
For travelers coming to Turkey, it offers its best sides: beautiful nature, clean beaches and luxurious hotels. But if you look at it more closely, you can see its shortcomings: the poverty of areas outside the resort area, dilapidated housing and hard work of local residents.
For those wishing to immigrate to Turkey, the build-up of the personality cult of Ataturk, the first president of the Turkish Republic, may present a problem, which suggests that the country is fixated on the past and thus limits its view of the future. There is also increasing pressure from Islam on the secular life of the country. The number of women wearing hijabs is increasing and even students in schools have begun to wear headscarves. Turkish government wants to lead the Islamic world and at the same time they want to be friends with the West. Repressive laws, lack of freedom of speech, violation of democracy and increasing militarization hinder Turkey’s accession to the EU. There is instability in the economic and political life of the country. The government’s presence in Syria and repression of the opposition has pushed the U.S. to increase duties on steel and aluminum imported from Turkey, which has led to a depreciation of the national currency and an increase in inflation.
