Home to aesthetic architecture, alluring national parks and countless beautiful destinations, the country draws the attention of tourists from across the world. Although Ankara is the capital of the nation, Istanbul being the largest city, pretenses to be the country’s economic, cultural and historic center with a population of over 15 million people, that makes it the most populous city of Europe. The culture of Turkey is excessively diverse and is a peculiar fusion of traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean, Western Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, Eastern European and the Caucasian civilization, most of which were brought together by the Ottoman Empire (between the 14th and early 20th Centuries), a multi-ethic and a multi-religious state. Today, the major ethnic group residing in the nation comprises of Turks and the official language spoken is Turkish but various other languages too are widely spoken in the country namely English, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Circassian, Georgian, Kurdish, Greek and Neo-Aramaic to name a few.

Opportunities for Indians in Turkey

The Turkish culture is extremely warm and welcoming and the Turkish society is making numerous efforts to establish better relations with Indians by promoting tourism, and educational and employment/business opportunities for Indian nationals. Owing to this operation, many Indian firms including Reliance Industries, Tata Motors & Indorama have been able to establish their branches in big metropolitan cities of Turkey. Many Multinational Corporations are hiring Indian doctors and computer engineers to work with their prestigious branch offices spread across the Turkish Empire.

Moreover, with the growing trend of globalization, the country is building links with various English-speaking economies and hence, Turkish schools and institutions are hiring multiple English language experts as teachers from across the world, for students of all ages.
