Etymology

The name Turkey comes from the Latin word 'Turchia', which originated from the Greek word 'Tourkia'. The Turkish people are descendants of Central Asian tribes who migrated to the region in the 11th century. The modern Republic of Turkey was established in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who led the country through a series of reforms to modernize and secularize it.
