Modern Turkey was founded in 1923 from the Anatolian remnants
of the defeated Ottoman Empire by national hero Mustafa
KEMAL, who was later honored with the title Ataturk or
"Father of the Turks." 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; it holds
a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council from 2009-10.
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. |
Turkey's dynamic economy is a complex mix of modern industry
and commerce along with a traditional agriculture sector
that still accounts for more than 35% of employment. It
has a strong and rapidly growing private sector, yet the
state still plays a major role in basic industry, banking,
transport, and communication. The largest industrial sector
is textiles and clothing, which accounts for one-third
of industrial employment; it faces stiff competition in
international markets with the end of the global quota
system. However, other sectors, notably the automotive
and electronics industries, are rising in importance within
Turkey's export mix. Real GNP growth has exceeded 6% in
many years, but this strong expansion has been interrupted
by sharp declines in output in 1994, 1999, and 2001. The
economy turned around with the implementation of economic
reforms, and 2004 GDP growth reached 9%, followed by roughly
5% annual growth from 2005-07. Due to global contractions,
annual growth is estimated to have fallen to 3.5% in 2008.
Inflation fell to 7.7% in 2005 - a 30-year low - but climbed
back to 8.5% in 2007. Despite the strong economic gains
from 2002-07, which were largely due to renewed investor
interest in emerging markets, IMF backing, and tighter
fiscal policy, the economy is still burdened by a high
current account deficit and high external debt. Further
economic and judicial reforms and prospective EU membership
are expected to boost foreign direct investment. The stock
value of FDI currently stands at about $85 billion. Privatization
sales are currently approaching $21 billion. Oil began
to flow through the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan pipeline in May
2006, marking a major milestone that will bring up to
1 million barrels per day from the Caspian to market.
In 2007 and 2008, Turkish financial markets weathered
significant domestic political turmoil, including turbulence
sparked by controversy over the selection of former Foreign
Minister Abdullah GUL as Turkey's 11th president and the
possible closure of the Justice and Development Party
(AKP). Economic fundamentals are sound, marked by moderate
economic growth and foreign direct investment. Nevertheless,
the Turkish economy may be faced with more negative economic
indicators in 2009 as a result of the global economic
slowdown. In addition, Turkey's high current account deficit
leaves the economy vulnerable to destabilizing shifts
in investor confidence. |
