By JTW By Ihsan Bal The large-scale damage caused when the mortar bombs fell on Akçakale drew everyone’s attention in Turkey to the crisis in Syria. While the great majority of the country are asking themselves if the country is going to war, some newspaper columnists and TV commentators are busy laying out pretexts why Turkey should not go to war.

Catal Huyuk. Turkey. Turkey i/ˈtɜrki/ (Turkish: Türkiye), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Turkey has been inhabited since the paleolithic age,[11] including various Ancient Anatolian civilizations and Thracian peoples.[12][13][14] After Alexander the Great's conquest, the area was Hellenized, which continued with the Roman rule and the transition into the Byzantine Empire.[13][15] The Seljuk Turks began migrating into the area in the 11th century, starting the process of Turkification, which was greatly accelerated by the Seljuk victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.[16] The Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion in 1243, upon which it disintegrated into several small Turkish beyliks.

Starting from the late 13th century, the Ottoman beylik united Anatolia and created an empire encompassing much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia and North Africa, becoming a major power in Eurasia and Africa during the early modern period. Etymology History.
