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.
