BACKGROUND MAIN MENU 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 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 Kurdistan People's Congress 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
2013, KGK and the Turkish Government agreed to a ceasefire that
continues despite slow progress in ongoing peace talks. 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.
