The earliest major empire in the area was that of the HITTITES, from the 18th through the 13th century BC. Subsequently, the Phrygians, an Indo-European people, achieved ascendancy until their kingdom was destroyer by the CIMMERIANS in the 7th century BC. The most powerful of Phrygia's successor states was LYDIA. Coastal Anatolia (IONIA) mean while was settled by Greeks. The entire area was overrun by the Persians during the 6th and 5th centuries and felt on Alexander the Great in 334 BC. Anatolia was subsequently divided into a number of small Hellenistic kingdoms, all of which had succumbed to Rome by the mid-1st century BC. In AD 324 the Roman emperor CONSTANTINE I chose Constantinople, now Istanbul, as the capital of the Roman Empire. It subsequently became the capital of the Eastern Roman or BYZANTINE EMPIRE. In 1055 a group of Central Asiatic Turks, the SELJUKS, conquered Baghdad and established a Middle Eastern and Anatolian empire. When this empire was broken up by the Mongol invasion, one of the remaining Local powers became known as the Ottoman dynasty, after its leader OSMAN I. The OTTOMAN EMPIRE spread from Northwestern Anatolia and captured Constantinople in 1453. At the peak of their power the Ottomans controlled much of the eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans had a sophisticated system of internal administration and also organized the first standing army in Europe. As the Ottoman Empire began to collapse under its own weight in the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a battleground. By the outbreak of World War I the Ottoman Empire had essentially been divided into spheres of influence by the great European powers, but their movement was active within the Ottoman Empire itself. The YOUNG TURKS brought about a revolution in 1908 and were successful introducing civil and social reforms of farreaching consequence. LBG Izmir izmir@best.eu.org For Further Questions: denizsahintr19@gmail.com onuraktan1@gmail.com Board of European Students of Technology Local BEST Group Izmir The history of modern Turkey begins with the foundation of the republic on October 29,1923 (the Republic was declared on January 20, 1921), with Mustafa Kemal first president. The government was formed from the Ankara-based revolutionary group, led on April 20, 1924. For about the next 10 years, the country saw a which included the unification of education, the discontinuation of religious and other titles, the closure of Islamic courts and the replacement of Islamic canon law with a secular civil code modeled after Switzerland's and a penal code modeled after the Italian Penal Code, recognition of the equality between the sexes and the granting of full political rights to women on 5 December 1934, the language reform initiated by the newly founded Turkish Language Association, replacement of the Ottoman Turkish Alphabet with the new Turkish Alphabet derived from the Latin Alphabet, the dress law (the wearing of a fez, a traditional Muslim hat, is outlawed), the law on family names, and many others. Turkish Culture Turkish Culture is fascinating, but sometimes confusing, blends of seemingly contrasting elements. While 99% of the population is Muslim and Islam has a strong influence on Turkish History, culture, and daily life. Turkey is officially and firmly a secular state. It is illegal for women to wear head scarves in classrooms or government offices. The scarf is considered to be a symbol of a political ideology, and not only a reflection of a religious belief. Formal courtesy and hospitality are central components of Turkish Culture, yet bureaucratic regulations can be enormously frustrating when dealing with any aspect of Turkish officialdom. The change in culture of Turkish people within the last century is very surprising. Today, Turkey might be the only country that contains every extreme depiction of east and west culture and many in between grey tones. Ottoman system was a LBG Izmir izmir@best.eu.org For Further Questions: denizsahintr19@gmail.com onuraktan1@gmail.com Board of European Students of Technology Local BEST Group Izmir multi-federation state that enabled the people not to mix with each other. From the cultural view point, balkanization was the end of Ottoman Empire. Turkish Republic adapted a unitary approach, which was forcing all the different cultures within its borders to mix with each other under the name of Turkish. The mixing, instead of assimilation is the end result of many grey tones. 83 years of transformation undeniably produced many grey colors of eastwest duality. These pictures should be taken as a proof achievement of Turkish democracy as a cauldron of ideas and representations.

Breakfast is substantial, and in the Turkish home or restaurant generally consists of bread, feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, yogurt, fruit, small Turkish pastries, tea, and coffee. Lunch is generally a relatively light meal and usual (similar to Greek gyros), or kebab (grilled meat). Dinner is generally served usually around 8 p.m. The traditional Turkish dinner is formal and multi-course, beginning with antipasto, small dishes or appetizers eaten sequentially with salad and bread. The main meal often includes a soup, meat course, vegetable course, and dessert. Izmir’s cuisine has largely been affected by its multicultural history, hence the large variety of food originating from the Aegean, Mediterranean and Anatolian regions. Another factor is the large area of land surrounding the region which grows a rich selection of vegetables. Some of the common dishes found here are "Tarhana soup" (made from dried yoghurt and tomatoes), "Izmir Meatball", "Keskek" (boiled wheat with meat) "Zerde" (sweetened rice with saffron) and "Mucver" (made from squash and eggs).
