Under his authoritarian leadership, the country adopted wide-ranging social, legal, and political reforms. After a period of one-party rule, an experiment with multi-party politics led to the 1950 election victory of the opposition Democratic Party and the peaceful transfer of power. Since then, Turkish political parties have multiplied, but democracy has been fractured by periods of instability and intermittent military coups (1960, 1971, 1980), which in each case eventually resulted in a return of political power to civilians. In 1997, the military again helped engineer the ouster - popularly dubbed a "post-modern coup" - of the then Islamic-oriented government. Turkey intervened militarily on Cyprus in 1974 to prevent a Greek takeover of the island and has since acted as patron state to the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," which only Turkey recognizes. A separatist insurgency begun in 1984 by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - now known as the People's Congress of Kurdistan or Kongra-Gel (KGK) - has dominated the Turkish military's attention and claimed more than 30,000 lives. After the capture of the group's leader in 1999, the insurgents largely withdrew from Turkey mainly to northern Iraq. In 2004, KGK announced an end to its ceasefire and attacks attributed to the KGK increased. Turkey joined the UN in 1945 and in 1952 it became a member of NATO. In 1964, Turkey became an associate member of the European Community. Over the past decade, it has undertaken many reforms to strengthen its democracy and economy; it began accession membership talks with the European Union in 2005. | | Household income or consumption by percentage share: | lowest 10%: 2%

Travel Advisory
|
| July 18, 2008 COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Turkey is a moderately developed nation with a wide range of tourist facilities of all classes in the main tourist destinations. Read the Department of State Background Notes on Turkey for additional information. | SAFETY AND SECURITY: Terrorist bombings over the past five years – some causing significant numbers of casualties – have struck religious, government, government-owned, political, tourist and business targets in a number of locations in Turkey. A variety of leftist or Islamic terrorist groups have targeted U.S. and Western interests as well. Terrorists claiming association with al-Qa’ida were responsible for suicide bombings in Istanbul in 2003 that targeted Western interests. In August 2005, Turkish police uncovered a planned terrorist attack by a transnational group targeting maritime interests in Turkey. The possibility of terrorist attacks, both transnational and indigenous, remains high. The Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK, also known as Kongra Gel) is one of the most active terrorist organizations in Turkey. Over the last few decades, the PKK has been responsible for the deaths of more than 30,000 Turkish citizens. This indigenous terrorist group continues to target Turkish officials and various civilian facilities.
The following paragraphs describe the extent of terrorist activity in major cities and regions in Turkey: Ankara: In May 2007, an explosive device was detonated by a suicide bomber in the Ulus district of Ankara during rush hour, resulting in six deaths and injuring more than 100. While there was no claim made by the PKK, the material used in the device was similar to that frequently used by the group. In September 2007, 600 kilograms of explosives were found in a minivan parked in a multi-story car park in the central Sihhiye area of Ankara. Investigations revealed a suspect with ties to the PKK. Istanbul: In November 2003, al-Qa’ida-associated suicide bombers attacked the British Consulate, an HSBC Bank, and two synagogues, killing dozens and wounding hundreds of people. These incidents represent a significant change from prior attacks in Turkey and showed an increased willingness on the part of terrorists to attack Western targets.
On July 9, 2008, a terrorist attack on the Turkish police guarding the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul resulted in three police officer deaths and wounding two other police personnel. At this time, responsibility for the attack has not been claimed by or assigned to a specific terrorist group.
In April 2007, Turkish police captured a PKK terrorist in one of Istanbul’s major tourist centers, Taksim Square. The female terrorist was intercepted carrying a bomb made of five kilograms of A-4 explosive; the target was a large gathering celebrating the founding of the Turkish police. In December 2007, a suspected male PKK member carrying three kilograms of A-4 explosive material in a backpack was arrested by Turkish National Police in Istanbul’s Mecidiyekoy Square; the intended target was the Mecidiyekoy subway station. In Istanbul, small-scale bombings and violent demonstrations, and more recently vehicle arsons, have occurred regularly since 2006. Most, but not all, of these incidents have happened in neighborhoods not generally frequented by tourists. PKK supporters on a number of occasions have set public buses on fire after ordering passengers to disembark. In April 2006, an attack of this type resulted in three deaths and at least one severe wounding. Thus far, no attacks on buses have taken place in tourist areas of the city. Mediterranean/Aegean Regions: The Kurdistan Liberation Falcons (TAK, also known as the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks), which was designated a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” organization by the Department of State in January 2008 and is ostensibly aligned with the PKK, has warned tourists not to visit Turkey. Consistent with its threats, this group claimed responsibility for a number of bombings in tourist areas in the Mediterranean and Aegean coastal resort areas (as well as in Istanbul). In July 2005, TAK claimed responsibility for a bomb that ripped through a minibus in the holiday resort town of Kuşadasi, killing five persons, including a British tourist and an Irish tourist. In June 2006, the group also was responsible for an explosion that killed three European tourists in Manavgat, a town in Antalya Province, as well as other attacks in the Antalya and Muğla Provinces. In August 2006, ten Britons and six Turks were injured when their minibus was blown up in Marmaris, and a bomb killed three and injured 87 in a blast at a shopping area in the city of Antalya. Eastern and Southeastern Provinces (including Adana): The PKK retains a presence in certain parts of southeastern Turkey, and regularly carries out attacks focused primarily on security personnel; occasionally, however, attacks injure or kill civilians. Travel is difficult and should be considered dangerous in some portions of this region. Americans traveling in southeastern Turkey, as well as to Mt. Ararat in the Agri, northeast, should exercise extreme caution.
On July 3, 2008, three German tourists were kidnapped by armed PKK militants while camped on Mt. Ararat with their 13-member climbing team. This kidnapping highlights the risks to traveling in this area and in Turkey’s southeast. Roadside explosions caused by remote-controlled land mines or other improvised explosive devices in the Batman, Şirnak, Hakkâri, Siirt, Mardin, Diyarbakir and Tunceli provinces occur regularly. Sound bombs are a frequent event throughout the region. There have also been a number of PKK raids on Jandarma posts and ambushes of Turkish security force vehicle patrols in many of Turkey’s rural southeastern areas. In 2005, the PKK attacked two trains and kidnapped two Turkish government employees in the region. In August 2006, two bombs exploded in Adana, injuring four people. In September 2006, a bomb detonated in the city of Diyarbakir, killing ten and injuring 15 Turkish nationals. In January 2008, a PKK remote controlled car bomb killed seven people and injured 66 when it exploded on a street in downtown Diyarbakir. Terrorist activity aside, the southeast area has also had a history of civil unrest of which travelers should be aware. Regional civil unrest that began in late March 2006 prompted clashes involving Turkish security forces and protestors, and left approximately a dozen people killed and several hundred wounded. Visitors to southeastern Turkey should use commercial air travel whenever possible. If road travel is necessary, travelers are advised to drive only during daylight hours and on major highways. The Turkish Jandarma and police forces monitor checkpoints on roads throughout the southeastern region. Travelers should be cooperative if stopped at any checkpoint. Drivers and all passengers in the vehicle should be prepared to provide identification cards or passports, a driver’s license, and vehicle registration if stopped. At these checkpoints, roll down the driver’s side window (the passenger side also, in vehicles with tinted windows) when stopped by security force officials. Security forces can then safely inspect the vehicle and its occupants. Remain calm, do not make any sudden movements, and obey all instructions immediately. Security officials may restrict access to some roads at times, and security force escort vehicles may be required to “convoy” visitors through troublesome areas. In some cases, this must be arranged in advance. Use of public transportation, at any time, is strongly discouraged in the southeastern region. In June 2007, the Turkish General Staff declared parts of the southeastern provinces of Şirnak, Hakkâri, and Siirt as “sensitive areas” due to ongoing counter-insurgency operations carried out by Turkish military forces. Access to these areas, mostly along the Iraqi border, is controlled by the security forces. The Turkish government has extended this designation until September 2008. Department of State personnel are subject to travel restrictions in the provinces of Şirnak, Diyarbakir, Van, Siirt, Muş, Mardin, Batman, Bingol, Tunceli, Hakkâri, Bitlis, and Elaziğ. U.S. military and Department of Defense civilians should consult their local area commander regarding any restrictions in effect for southeastern Turkey. Mount Ararat, in the Ağri province, is a special military zone and access permission must be obtained from the Turkish government through a Turkish embassy or consulate before coming to Turkey. For all of Turkey, travelers are cautioned not to accept letters, parcels, or other items from strangers for delivery either in or outside of Turkey. The PKK has attempted to use foreigners to deliver messages and packages in or outside of Turkey. If discovered, individuals could be arrested for aiding and abetting the terrorist organization. In addition to terrorist activities, there have been several recent instances of violence targeting Christians in Turkey: the fatal shooting of a Catholic priest in Trabzon in February 2006; the murder of Armenian Turkish writer/journalist Hrant Dink in Istanbul in January 2007; the brutal murder of three Christians, one of them a German citizen, in a Bible bookstore in Malatya in April 2007; and the stabbing of a Catholic priest in Izmir in December 2007. Americans should exercise caution and good judgment, keep a low profile, and remain vigilant with regard to their personal security. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. As security is increased at official U.S. facilities, terrorists will seek softer targets. These may include facilities where Americans and Westerners are known to live, congregate, shop, or visit. U.S. citizens should remain in a heightened state of personal security awareness when attendance at such locations is unavoidable. International and domestic political issues sometimes trigger demonstrations in most major cities in Turkey. We wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations, if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s web site, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts can be found. Up-to-date information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S. and Canada, or for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll-free line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). The Department of State urges American citizens to take responsibility for their own personal security while traveling overseas. For general information about appropriate protective measures travelers can take in an overseas environment, see the Department of State’s pamphlet A Safe Trip Abroad. | INFORMATION FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME: The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to both the local police and the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. If you are the victim of a crime while overseas, in addition to reporting to local police, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for assistance. The Embassy/Consulate staff can, for example, assist you to in finding appropriate medical care, contacting family members or friends, and explaining how funds could be transferred. Although the investigation and prosecution of the crime is solely the responsibility of local authorities, consular officers can help you to understand the local criminal justice process and to find an attorney if needed.
The local equivalent of the “911” emergency line (for police, fire or ambulance) in Turkey is 155. The emergency number for ambulance assistance only is 112. See our information on Victims of Crime. | | CRIME: The rate of street crime is relatively low in Turkey, although it has increased in large urban centers such as Istanbul and Izmir. In Istanbul, petty street crime is most common in tourist areas such as Taksim Square, Sultanahmet and in the areas around the Grand Bazaar and Spice (Egyptian) Bazaar. It is strongly recommended that you carry only what is needed, and leave your U.S. passport in your hotel safe. As in other large metropolitan areas throughout the world, common street crimes include pocket picking, purse snatching, and mugging. Often the crime is preceded by some sort of diversion such as an argument, a fight, or someone bumping you. In other cases, English- or French-speaking foreigners have befriended tourists and then drugged them, using tea, juice, alcohol, or food. Two common drugs used are Nembutal and benzodiazepine which, when used incorrectly, can cause death. In other cases, tourists are invited to visit clubs or bars, and then presented with inflated bills (often exceeding $1,000), and coerced to pay them by credit card or to withdraw cash from a nearby ATM to cover the charge. Residential crime appears to be on the increase in major cities, with criminals targeting ground floor apartments for theft. Visitors should not be complacent regarding personal safety or the protection of valuables. The same precautions employed in the United States should be followed in Turkey. In many countries around the world, counterfeit and pirated goods are widely available. Transactions involving such products may be illegal under local law. In addition, bringing them back to the United States may result in forfeitures and/or fines. More information on this serious problem is available at http://www.cybercrime.gov/18usc2320.htm. |
