An Angora goat The Angora goat (Turkish: Ankara keçisi) is a breed of domestic goat that is named for Ankara, Turkey, historically known as Angora.
Angora goats produce the lustrous fibre known as mohair. History[edit] The Angora goat has been regarded by some as a direct descendant of the Central Asian Markhor (Capra falconeri).[1][2] They have been in the region since around the Paleolithic.[3] Angora goats were depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 50 lira banknotes of 1938-1952.[4] The first Angora goats were brought to Europe by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, about 1554, but, like later imports, were not very successful.
Characteristics[edit] Angora goats are traditionally white, but colored Angoras are growing in popularity The fleece taken from an Angora goat is called Mohair. Angora goats are more susceptible to external parasites (ectoparasites) than similar animals, as their coats are denser. See also[edit] Angora rabbit.

The Turkish Van is nicknamed the swimming cat. Breed standards[edit] While a few registries recognise all-white specimens as Turkish Vans, most do not. Varieties[edit] Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Congar „fürchtet sich nicht im Geringsten" vor diesen Leuten, auch wenn ihr politischer Arm, die AKP, alle wichtigen Ämter innehat. Es ist der Verdienst dieser Dokumentation, dass sie den Konflikt, der die vergangenen Jahre die türkische Gesellschaft und Politik tatsächlich bewegt hat, sehr genau herausarbeitet. Ausgelöst wurde dieser Konflikt durch den rasanten Wirtschaftsboom, der die Türkei erfasst hat. Auch weil der Machtkampf mit allen Mitteln geführt wird.
