By the way, Turkish army interfered with Politics and declared marchall law for a week, but they went to barracks immediately and call for reelections, never a junta administration took over parlament for a significant time. And the last one was about the cold war, Parliament failed to elect a president, a battle started between communists and nationalists on the streets. Most Turks see army as savior for stopping violence quickly.

Even in Ottoman era, there were different millets with different religions, all had similar rights and everyone was free to practice whatever religion they wanted to. This is the closest thing to secularism for that era, Secularism is not new for turkey, and this country is secular republic for a hundred years now. AKP with major power did not even intended to change anything about secularism in constitution. Secularism is character of Turkey.

I see orientalist idiots are calling this is "modern" face of istanbul not, it is the face of istanbul, but you hate seing it, you keep saying yourself marginal conservative groups are significant, htey are not, there is no major political islamic party, AKP is central right, conservative but liberal party. The fact is, there is a social debate over headscarf but not on secularism itself. What you do is like presenting mormons as average american. sigh...

Arabic and Assyrian in the south-east (next to Kurdish), Greek (Pontos/Rum) and Georgian (Laz) in the mountains of north-east. In the cities there are some minority of Jews and Armenians, some of whom speak their own language. Many Turks speak English and/or German as well. If you have a US passport you can get a visa at arrival for 10 Dollar.
