Hits: 6045

Chor­vát­sko (Hrvat­ska) je pre Slo­vá­kov asi naj­po­pu­lár­nej­šia dovo­len­ko­vá kra­ji­na. Obmý­va ju Jad­ran­ské more. Leží na Bal­kán­skom polo­stro­ve, na dru­hom bre­hu mora sa nachá­dza Talian­sko.

Roz­lo­ha Chor­vát­ska je 56 542 km2, na kto­rých žilo v roku 2005 tak­mer 4.5 mili­ó­na oby­va­te­ľov. V sta­ro­ve­ku bolo úze­mie Chor­vát­ska osíd­le­né ilýr­sky­mi a kelt­ský­mi kmeň­mi. V 1. až 5 sto­ro­čí bolo súčas­ťou Rím­skej ríše, do 9. sto­ro­čia Byzant­skej ríše. V 6. – 7 sto­ro­čí osíd­ľo­va­li úze­mie Slo­va­nia a Ava­ri. Kon­com 9. sto­ro­čia vznik­lo Chor­vát­ske knie­žat­stvo (krá­ľov­stvo), čas­ti Sla­vón­ska sú však súčas­ťou Uhor­ska (wiki​pe​dia​.sk). V roku 925 zjed­no­til Chor­vát­sky štát kráľ Tomi­slav (cro​atia​emb​.net). Od začiat­ku 12. sto­ro­čia až do roku 1918 bolo úze­mie súčas­ťou Uhor­ska, mimo Dal­má­cie. Dal­má­cia bola od 14 sto­ro­čia do roku 1797 pod kon­tro­lou Bená­tok, neskôr Rakús­ka. Od 15. sto­ro­čia pre­bie­ha­li ata­ky Osman­skej ríše, až do roku 1700. Od polo­vi­ce 19. sto­ro­čia sa zača­lo for­mo­vať chor­vát­ske národ­né hnu­tie. Po rakúsko-​maďarskom vyrov­na­ní pat­rí Chor­vát­sko v rám­ci Zali­tav­ska do Rakúsko-​Uhorska s čias­toč­nou auto­nó­mi­ou s na čele sto­ja­cim bánom. Po 1. sve­to­vej voj­ne sa Chor­vát­sko spo­lu s Dal­má­ci­ou sta­lo súčas­ťou Krá­ľov­stva Srbov, Chor­vá­tov a Slo­vin­cov, kto­ré sa v roku 1929 pre­me­no­va­lo na Juho­slá­viu. Vyhlá­se­nie samos­tat­nos­ti 25.6.1991 vyvo­la­lo občian­sku voj­nu, kto­rá trva­la až do roku 1995 (wiki​pe​dia​.sk).

Chor­vát­sko vznik­lo na pozos­tat­koch Rím­skej ríše. Dnes má Chor­vát­sko cca 1185 ostro­vov a polo­os­tro­vov (cro​atia​emb​.net). Osíd­le­ných je iba 66 z nich. Rozp­res­tie­ra sa na plo­che 56 540 km2, na kto­rých žije tak­mer 5 mili­ó­nov oby­va­te­ľov. Chor­vát­sko vyhlá­si­lo svo­ju nezá­vis­losť v roku 1991. Nie­kto­ré dovo­len­ko­vé stre­dis­ká: Novig­rad, Poreč, Rovinj, Krk (web​no​de​.sk), Pula, Rabac, Crik­ve­ni­ca, Zadar, Baš­ka Voda, Gra­dac, Makar­ska, Dub­rov­nik, Kor­ču­la, Brač, Hvar, Tuče­pi (des​ti​na​cie​.sk). V Novig­ra­de sa nachá­dza­jú hrad­by z čias Benát­skej repub­li­ky. V Zada­re napr. Rím­ske námes­tie z 1. sto­ro­čia. V Pule rím­sky amfi­te­áter Kolo­se­um z 1. sto­ro­čia, Augus­tov chrám, Her­ku­lo­va brá­na. Chor­vát­sko oplý­va aj prí­rod­ný­mi des­ti­ná­cia­mi, veľ­mi zná­me sú Plit­vic­ké jaze­rá (des​ti​na​cie​.sk).

Cro­atia (Hrvat­ska) is pro­bab­ly the most popu­lar holi­day des­ti­na­ti­on for Slo­vaks. It is was­hed by the Adria­tic Sea and is loca­ted on the Bal­kan Penin­su­la, with Ita­ly on the oppo­si­te shore.

The area of Cro­atia is 56,542 km², and in 2005, it was home to near­ly 4.5 mil­li­on inha­bi­tants. In ancient times, the ter­ri­to­ry of Cro­atia was sett­led by Illy­rian and Cel­tic tri­bes. From the 1st to the 5th cen­tu­ry, it was part of the Roman Empi­re and later part of the Byzan­ti­ne Empi­re until the 9th cen­tu­ry. In the 6th – 7th cen­tu­ry, the area was inha­bi­ted by Slavs and Avars. By the end of the 9th cen­tu­ry, the Prin­ci­pa­li­ty (King­dom) of Cro­atia was for­med, with parts of Sla­vo­nia being part of Hun­ga­ry (wiki​pe​dia​.sk). In 925, King Tomi­slav uni­fied the Cro­atian sta­te (cro​atia​emb​.net). From the ear­ly 12th cen­tu­ry until 1918, the ter­ri­to­ry was part of Hun­ga­ry, exc­lu­ding Dal­ma­tia. Dal­ma­tia was under the con­trol of Veni­ce from the 14th cen­tu­ry to 1797 and later Aus­tria. From the 15th cen­tu­ry, the­re were Otto­man Empi­re attacks until 1700. In the mid-​19th cen­tu­ry, the Cro­atian nati­onal move­ment began to form. After the Austro-​Hungarian Com­pro­mi­se, Cro­atia beca­me part of Austria-​Hungary wit­hin the fra­me­work of Cis­le­it­ha­nia, with par­tial auto­no­my under a ban. After World War I, Cro­atia, along with Dal­ma­tia, beca­me part of the King­dom of Serbs, Cro­ats, and Slo­ve­nes, which was rena­med Yugo­sla­via in 1929. The dec­la­ra­ti­on of inde­pen­den­ce on June 25, 1991, led to the Cro­atian War of Inde­pen­den­ce, which las­ted until 1995 (wiki​pe​dia​.sk).

Cro­atia emer­ged on the rem­nants of the Roman Empi­re. Today, Cro­atia has about 1185 islands and penin­su­las (cro​atia​emb​.net), but only 66 of them are inha­bi­ted. It stret­ches over an area of 56,540 km², with almost 5 mil­li­on inha­bi­tants. Cro­atia dec­la­red its inde­pen­den­ce in 1991. Some holi­day resorts inc­lu­de Novig­rad, Poreč, Rovinj, Krk (web​no​de​.sk), Pula, Rabac, Crik­ve­ni­ca, Zadar, Baš­ka Voda, Gra­dac, Makar­ska, Dub­rov­nik, Kor­ču­la, Brač, Hvar, Tuče­pi (des​ti​na​cie​.sk). In Novig­rad, the­re are walls from the time of the Vene­tian Repub­lic. In Zadar, for exam­ple, the­re is the Roman Forum from the 1st cen­tu­ry. In Pula, the Roman amp­hit­he­a­ter Colos­se­um from the 1st cen­tu­ry, Augus­tus’ Tem­ple, and Her­cu­les’ Gate. Cro­atia is also rich in natu­ral des­ti­na­ti­ons, with the Plit­vi­ce Lakes being very famous (des​ti​na​cie​.sk).

Hrvat­ska je vje­ro­jat­no naj­po­pu­lar­ni­ja des­ti­na­ci­ja za Slo­va­ke. Opla­ku­je je Jad­ran­sko more, a nala­zi se na Bal­kan­skom polu­oto­ku, s Ita­li­jom s dru­ge stra­ne mora.

Povr­ši­na Hrvat­ske izno­si 56.542 km², a 2005. godi­ne na njoj je živ­je­lo goto­vo 4,5 mili­ju­na sta­nov­ni­ka. U antič­ko doba, teri­to­rij Hrvat­ske nasel­ja­va­li su Ili­ri i Kelt­ski ple­me­ni. Od 1. do 5. stol­je­ća bila je dio Rim­skog Car­stva, a kas­ni­je Bizant­skog Car­stva do 9. stol­je­ća. U 6. i 7. stol­je­ću pod­ruč­je su nasel­ja­va­li Sla­ve­ni i Ava­ri. Kra­jem 9. stol­je­ća nasta­lo je Kne­že­vi­na (Kral­je­vi­na) Hrvat­ska, pri čemu su dije­lo­vi Sla­vo­ni­je bili dio Ugar­ske (wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Godi­ne 925. kralj Tomi­slav uje­di­nio je Hrvat­sku (cro​atia​emb​.net). Od počet­ka 12. stol­je­ća do 1918. godi­ne teri­to­rij je bio dio Ugar­ske, izu­zev Dal­ma­ci­je. Dal­ma­ci­ja je bila pod kon­tro­lom Mle­tač­ke Repub­li­ke od 14. do 18. stol­je­ća, a zatim Aus­tri­je. Od 15. stol­je­ća bila su pri­sut­na osman­ska osva­jan­ja sve do 1700. godi­ne. Sre­di­nom 19. stol­je­ća poče­lo se for­mi­ra­ti hrvat­sko naci­onal­no pokre­tan­je. Nakon austro-​ugarskog dogo­vo­ra, Hrvat­ska je posta­la dio Austro-​Ugarske unu­tar okvi­ra Cis­laj­ta­ni­je, s dje­lo­mič­nom auto­no­mi­jom pod banom. Nakon Prvog svjet­skog rata, Hrvat­ska je zajed­no s Dal­ma­ci­jom posta­la dio Kral­je­vi­ne Srba, Hrva­ta i Slo­ve­na­ca, koja se 1929. godi­ne pre­ime­no­va­la u Jugo­sla­vi­ju. Prog­la­šen­je neovis­nos­ti 25. lipn­ja 1991. godi­ne izaz­va­lo je Domo­vin­ski rat, koji je tra­jao do 1995. godi­ne (wiki​pe​dia​.sk).

Hrvat­ska se for­mi­ra­la na osta­ci­ma Rim­skog Car­stva. Danas Hrvat­ska ima otp­ri­li­ke 1185 oto­ka i polu­oto­ka (cro​atia​emb​.net), ali samo 66 ih je nasel­je­no. Pro­te­že se na pod­ruč­ju od 56.540 km², na kojem živi goto­vo 5 mili­ju­na sta­nov­ni­ka. Hrvat­ska je prog­la­si­la neovis­nost 1991. godi­ne. Neki od odma­ra­liš­ta ukl­ju­ču­ju Novig­rad, Poreč, Rovinj, Krk (web​no​de​.sk), Pula, Rabac, Crik­ve­ni­ca, Zadar, Baš­ka Voda, Gra­dac, Makar­ska, Dub­rov­nik, Kor­ču­la, Brač, Hvar, Tuče­pi (des​ti​na​cie​.sk). U Novig­ra­du posto­je zidi­ne iz vre­me­na Mle­tač­ke Repub­li­ke. U Zadru, pri­mje­ri­ce, nala­zi se Rim­ski forum iz 1. stol­je­ća. U Puli rim­ski amfi­te­a­tar Kolo­se­um iz 1. stol­je­ća, Augus­tov hram i Her­ku­lo­va vra­ta. Hrvat­ska tako­đer obi­lu­je pri­rod­nim des­ti­na­ci­ja­ma, a vrlo su pozna­ta Plit­vič­ka jeze­ra (des​ti​na​cie​.sk).

Stari Grad – mesto zo Zoznamu Unesco

skala
Hits: 3725

His­to­ric­ký názov mes­ta je Pha­ros (Faros). Bol kolo­ni­zo­va­ný Grék­mi (cro​atia​.hr). Je to zau­jí­ma­vé a pek­né mes­teč­ko. Sta­rig­rad­ské pole, kto­ré sa nachá­dza pri mes­te, je na Zozna­me UNESCO. Tamoj­šie výsad­by vinoh­ra­dov a olív zosta­li ​“prak­tic­ky nezme­ne­né” od prvej kolo­ni­zá­cie sta­rých Gré­kov (cro​atia​.hr). Pre Sta­ri Grad sú typic­ké úzke ulič­ky a samoz­rej­me prí­stav, na mno­hých mies­tach doslo­va dýcha his­tó­ria.

Je obľú­be­ným leto­vis­kom, na seve­ro­zá­pa­de Hva­ru. V mes­te žije cca 1900 oby­va­te­ľov. Je pre­slá­ve­ný pes­to­va­ním levan­du­le. Hlav­ným odvet­vím je ces­tov­ný ruch a pop­ri to vinár­stvo. Vini­ce sa tiah­nu až k Jel­se a Vrbos­ke. Mimo­riad­nou his­to­ric­kou pamiat­kou je, že sa tu zacho­val tzv. gréc­ky ager – roz­par­ce­lo­va­nie poľ­no­hos­po­dár­skej pôdy pri­sťa­ho­val­com po kolo­ni­zá­cii ostro­va Grék­mi spred 2500 rokov (chor​vat​sko​.cz).

The his­to­ri­cal name of the town is Pha­ros (Faros). It was colo­ni­zed by the Gre­eks (cro​atia​.hr). It is an inte­res­ting and beau­ti­ful litt­le town. The Sta­ri Grad Plain, loca­ted near the town, is on the UNESCO List. The local vine­y­ard and oli­ve gro­ve plan­ta­ti­ons have remai­ned ​“prac­ti­cal­ly unchan­ged” sin­ce the first colo­ni­za­ti­on by the ancient Gre­eks (cro​atia​.hr). Sta­ri Grad is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by nar­row stre­ets, and of cour­se, the har­bor, whe­re his­to­ry lite­ral­ly bre­at­hes in many places.

It is a popu­lar resort on the nort­hwest of Hvar. The town has about 1900 inha­bi­tants. It is reno­wned for laven­der cul­ti­va­ti­on. The main indus­tries are tou­rism and, along­si­de that, wine­ma­king. Vine­y­ards stretch all the way to Jel­sa and Vrbos­ka. An excep­ti­onal his­to­ri­cal land­mark is the pre­ser­va­ti­on of the so-​called Gre­ek ager – the divi­si­on of agri­cul­tu­ral land by immig­rants after the Gre­ek colo­ni­za­ti­on of the island 2500 years ago (chor​vat​sko​.cz).

Povi­jes­no ime gra­da je Pha­ros (Faros). Bio je kolo­ni­zi­ran od stra­ne Grka (cro​atia​.hr). To je zaniml­jiv i lijep gra­dić. Sta­rig­rad­sko pol­je, koje se nala­zi bli­zu gra­da, nala­zi se na UNESCO-​ovu popi­su. Tamošn­ji vinog­ra­dar­ski i mas­li­nič­ki nasa­di osta­li su ​“prak­tič­ki nepro­mi­jen­je­ni” od prvog nasel­ja­van­ja sta­rih Grka (cro​atia​.hr). Za Sta­ri Grad su karak­te­ris­tič­ne uske uli­ce i narav­no, luka, gdje povi­jest doslov­no diše na mno­gim mjestima.

To je popu­lar­no lje­to­va­liš­te na sje­ve­ro­za­pa­du Hva­ra. U gra­du živi oko 1900 sta­nov­ni­ka. Poznat je po uzgo­ju lavan­de. Glav­ne dje­lat­nos­ti su turi­zam i, uz to, vinog­ra­dar­stvo. Vinog­ra­di se pro­te­žu sve do Jel­se i Vrbos­ke. Izu­ze­tan povi­jes­ni spo­me­nik je saču­va­ni takoz­va­ni grč­ki ager – pod­je­la pol­jop­riv­red­nog zeml­jiš­ta dosel­je­ni­ci­ma nakon grč­ke kolo­ni­za­ci­je oto­ka pri­je 2500 godi­na (chor​vat​sko​.cz).

Krupina – jedno z najstarších slovenských miest

skala
Hits: 5119

Kru­pi­na je na pol­ces­te medzi Ban­skou Bys­tri­cou a Šaha­mi a medzi Zla­tý­mi Morav­ca­mi a Lučen­com. Je to his­to­ric­ké mes­to ležia­ce na pome­dzí Štiav­nic­kých vrchov a Kru­pin­skej pla­ni­ny. Na okra­ji his­to­ric­ké­ho regi­ó­nu sied­mich stre­do­slo­ven­ských ban­ských miest. V lis­ti­nách sa spo­mí­na už od 12. sto­ro­čia. V roku 1244 zís­ka­lo mest­ské výsa­dy a sta­lo sa slo­bod­ným krá­ľov­ským mes­tom (Ras­ti­slav Sabu­cha). V Kru­pi­ne, nemec­ky Karp­fen, maďar­sky Kor­po­na žilo v roku 2005 7 812 oby­va­te­ľov. Leží v nad­mor­skej výš­ke 262 met­rov nad morom (Wiki­pe­dia ENG). Oko­lie Kru­pi­ny bolo osíd­le­né už v mlad­šej dobe kamen­nej. V stre­do­ve­ku sem priš­li Slo­vá­ci. Kru­pi­na pat­rí medzi naj­star­šie mes­tá na Slo­ven­sku (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Plno­hod­not­né stre­do­ve­ké mes­to z Kru­pi­ny vytvo­ri­li nemec­kí kolo­nis­ti, kto­rí priš­li do tej­to oblas­ti kon­com 12. a začiat­kom 13. sto­ro­čia. V roku 1241 mes­to spus­to­ši­li Tatá­ri. Neskôr mes­to ohro­zo­va­li Tur­ci, aj pre­to boli vybu­do­va­né stráž­ne veže – var­tov­ky, z kto­rých sa tá na vrchu Stra­ža­vár zacho­va­la (Vla­di­mír Júda, Miro­slav Lukáč). Pod­zem­né chod­by sú tak­mer pod celým his­to­ric­kým cen­trom. Zrej­me sa v nich pri­már­ne skla­do­va­li potra­vi­ny. Veľ­ké piv­ni­ce vyvo­lá­va­jú množ­stvo otá­zok, v jed­nej z nich, pod sta­rou rad­ni­cou, muči­li bosor­ky. Prá­ve tu upá­li­li naj­viac stríg na našom úze­mí. Tra­du­je sa, že posled­nú bosor­ku v Euró­pe upá­li­li v roku 1741 prá­ve v Kru­pi­ne. V mes­te sa nachá­dza­jú tzv. Turec­ké stud­ne – vyte­sa­né otvo­ry do ska­ly, mož­no stud­ne z kto­rých Tur­ci napá­ja­li kone (Dag­mar Teliš­čá­ko­vá). Po roku 1989 malo mes­to ako jed­no z prvých miest na Slo­ven­sku káb­lo­vú tele­ví­ziu a miest­ne tele­víz­ne vysie­la­nie. Zača­li vychá­dzať Hon­tian­ske novi­ny (Vla­di­mír Júda, Miro­slav Lukáč).

Z Kru­pi­ny pochá­dza spi­so­va­teľ a kňaz Karol Bra­xa­to­ris, bás­nik Andrej Slád­ko­vič, pro­zaič­ka, redak­tor­ka a pub­li­cis­t­ka Ele­na Maróthy-​Šoltésová, herec Viliam Poló­nyi. Pôso­bil tu hudob­ný skla­da­teľ Eugen Suchoň, spi­so­va­teľ Jozef Cíger Hron­ský (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk), štu­do­val tu Marián Labu­da (Miro­slav Lukáč).

Kru­pi­na is situ­ated hal­fway bet­we­en Ban­ská Bys­tri­ca and Šahy and bet­we­en Zla­té Morav­ce and Luče­nec. It is a his­to­ri­cal town loca­ted on the bor­der of the Štiav­nic­ké Vrchy and Kru­pin­ská Pla­ni­na regi­ons, on the edge of the his­to­ric regi­on of the seven Cen­tral Slo­vak mining towns. It is men­ti­oned in docu­ments from the 12th cen­tu­ry. In 1244, it gai­ned town pri­vi­le­ges and beca­me a free roy­al town (Ras­ti­slav Sabu­cha). In Kru­pi­na, kno­wn as Karp­fen in Ger­man and Kor­po­na in Hun­ga­rian, the­re were 7,812 inha­bi­tants in 2005. It is situ­ated at an ele­va­ti­on of 262 meters abo­ve sea level (Wiki­pe­dia ENG). The sur­roun­dings of Kru­pi­na were inha­bi­ted in the youn­ger Sto­ne Age, and Slo­vaks sett­led here in the medie­val peri­od. Kru­pi­na is among the oldest towns in Slo­va­kia (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Ger­man colo­nists who arri­ved in the late 12th and ear­ly 13th cen­tu­ries sha­ped Kru­pi­na into a fully-​fledged medie­val town. In 1241, the town was devas­ta­ted by the Tatars. Later, it faced thre­ats from the Turks, lea­ding to the cons­truc­ti­on of guard towers, one of which, on Stra­ža­vár Hill, still stands today (Vla­di­mír Júda, Miro­slav Lukáč). Under­ground tun­nels extend bene­ath almost the enti­re his­to­ri­cal cen­ter, like­ly used pri­ma­ri­ly for sto­ring food. Lar­ge cel­lars rai­se many ques­ti­ons; in one of them, bene­ath the old town hall, alle­ged wit­ches were tor­tu­red. It is said that the last witch in Euro­pe was bur­ned at the sta­ke in Kru­pi­na in 1741. The city is home to the so-​called Tur­kish Wells — car­ved ope­nings into the rock, possib­ly wells from which the Turks wate­red the­ir hor­ses (Dag­mar Teliš­čá­ko­vá). After 1989, the city was among the first in Slo­va­kia to have cab­le tele­vi­si­on and local tele­vi­si­on bro­ad­cas­ting. The Hon­tian News­pa­pers began to be pub­lis­hed (Vla­di­mír Júda, Miro­slav Lukáč).

Turecko – zaujímavá hornatá krajina

skala
Hits: 4882

Turec­ko leží pod Čier­nym morom. Z dvoch strán ho obklo­pu­je Stre­do­zem­né more. Suse­dí so Sýri­ou, s Ira­kom, s Irá­nom, s Armén­skom, s Gru­zín­skom. Malá časť úze­mia leží v Euró­pe na Bal­kán­skom polo­os­tro­ve (Východ­ná Trá­cia /​Rumé­lia), väč­ši­na úze­mia leží v juho­zá­pad­nej Ázii – na polo­os­tro­ve Malá Ázia (Ana­tó­lia). Obe čas­ti odde­ľu­je úži­na Bospor, Mar­mar­ské more a Dar­da­ne­ly (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Turec­ko je hor­na­tá kra­ji­na, naj­viac jeho východ­ná časť.

Úze­mie Turec­ka (Ana­tó­lia) pat­rí k naj­star­ším trva­lo osíd­le­ným regi­ó­nom na sve­te – ešte v neoli­te (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Pri­bliž­ne medzi 18. – 13. sto­ro­čím pred Kris­tom bola na úze­mí dneš­né­ho Turec­ka sta­ro­ve­ká Che­tit­ská ríša. Neskôr tu exis­to­va­la Frý­gia. Od 7. sto­ro­čia pred Kris­tom Lýdia, Caria a Lýcia. Od 12. sto­ro­čia pred Kris­tom je západ­né pobre­žie kolo­ni­zo­va­né aiol­ský­mi, dór­sky­mi a ión­sky­mi Grék­mi. Neskôr aj kolo­ni­zo­va­li aj sever­né a juž­né pobre­žie. V 6. – 5 sto­ro­čí bola Ana­tó­lia doby­tá Per­žan­mi, neskôr Ale­xan­drom Mace­dón­skym, po kto­ré­ho smr­ti sa roz­pad­la na hele­nis­tic­ké štá­ty: Bitý­nia, Kapa­dó­cia, Per­ga­mon a Pon­tos (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). V Turec­ku je veľ­ké množ­stvo antic­kých pamia­tok, naj­mä v Efe­ze, Ther­mes­so­se, Hie­ra­po­li­se a aj v Istan­bu­le (orbi​on​.cz). Kon­com 1. sto­ro­čia pred Kris­tom gré­kov vys­trie­da­la Rím­ska ríša. Po jej roz­pa­de v roku 395 Turec­ko pri­pad­lo Byzant­skej ríši. Od 11. sto­ro­čia dochá­dza­lo ku turec­ké­mu osíd­ľo­va­niu. V roku 1299 sa Osman I. stal prvým sul­tá­nom Osman­skej ríše. Vytrva­la do roku 1923, kedy Mus­ta­fa Kemal Ata­türk zalo­žil repub­li­ku. 2 mili­ó­ny gré­kov opus­ti­lo Turec­ko a do Turec­ka odiš­lo asi 500 000 mos­li­mov roz­prá­va­jú­cich gréc­ky, albán­sky a bul­har­sky z Gréc­ka (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). V Turec­ku žije počet­ná kurd­ská men­ši­na. 

Turec­ko je pomer­ne veľ­ká kra­ji­na, jeho roz­lo­ha je 780 580 km2 (wikit​ra​vel​.org), kde žilo v roku 2003 viac ako 68 mili­ó­nov oby­va­te­ľov (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Turec­ká zahra­nič­ná poli­ti­ka je už v 20. sto­ro­čí nasme­ro­va­ná do Euró­py. Turec­ko pat­rí ku zakla­da­jú­cim čle­nom OECD, v roku 1952 vstu­pu­je do NATO. Od roku 1959, kedy si poda­lo žia­dosť o člen­stvo v EHS, sa inten­zív­ne sna­ží vstú­piť do európ­skych hos­po­dár­skych štruk­túr. Dnes do Európ­skej únie (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Zau­jí­ma­vé sú skal­né mes­ta v Kap­pa­dó­cii, národ­ný park Pamuk­ka­le (orbi​on​.cz). Vo východ­nom (naj­hor­na­tej­šom) Turec­ku pra­me­nia rie­ky Euf­rat, Tig­ris a Aras (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Naj­vyš­ším bodom je Ara­rat, kto­rý sa týči do výš­ky 5137 met­rov nad morom (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Je hra­nič­ným vrchom s Arménskom.

Hlav­ným mes­tom Turec­ka je Anka­ra. Iný­mi zná­my­mi mes­ta­mi je Anta­lya, naj­väč­šie mes­to Istan­bul, napr. Izmir, Trab­zon (wikit​ra​vel​.org), Bur­sa, Ada­na, Gazian­tep (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Istan­bul je mes­to roz­de­le­né na európ­sku a ázij­skú časť. Spo­je­nie tých­to dvoch kon­ti­nen­tov zabez­pe­ču­je Bospor­ský most (wikit​ra​vel​.org). Turec­ko je pod­ľa HDP na 15. mies­te na sve­te (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Naj­po­pu­lár­nej­ším špor­tom je fut­bal. Klu­by ako Besik­tas Istan­bul, Fener­bah­ce Istan­bul, Gala­ta­sa­ray Istan­bul, (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz) Trab­zon­spor fut­ba­lo­vý fanú­šik pozná, neraz sa výraz­nej­šie pre­sa­di­li v tra­dič­ných európ­skych pohá­roch. Národ­ný tím v roku 2002 dosia­hol na Maj­strov­stvách sve­ta 3. miesto.

Tur­key is loca­ted bene­ath the Black Sea and is sur­roun­ded by the Medi­ter­ra­ne­an Sea on two sides. It sha­res bor­ders with Syria, Iraq, Iran, Arme­nia, and Geor­gia. A small part of its ter­ri­to­ry lies in Euro­pe on the Bal­kan Penin­su­la (Eas­tern Thra­ce /​Rume­lia), whi­le the majo­ri­ty is situ­ated in sout­hwes­tern Asia on the Ana­to­lian Penin­su­la. The Bospo­rus Strait, the Sea of Mar­ma­ra, and the Dar­da­nel­les sepa­ra­te the­se two parts (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Tur­key is a moun­tai­nous coun­try, with its eas­tern part being the most mountainous.

The ter­ri­to­ry of Tur­key (Ana­to­lia) is one of the oldest con­ti­nu­ous­ly inha­bi­ted regi­ons glo­bal­ly, dating back to the Neolit­hic peri­od (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). App­ro­xi­ma­te­ly bet­we­en the 18th and 13th cen­tu­ries BCE, the ancient Hit­ti­te Empi­re exis­ted in the present-​day ter­ri­to­ry of Tur­key. Later, Phry­gia was estab­lis­hed here. From the 7th cen­tu­ry BCE, Lydia, Caria, and Lycia were pre­sent. From the 12th cen­tu­ry BCE, the wes­tern coast was colo­ni­zed by Aeolian, Dorian, and Ionian Gre­eks. Later, they also colo­ni­zed the nort­hern and sout­hern coasts. In the 6th to 5th cen­tu­ries BCE, Ana­to­lia was conqu­e­red by the Per­sians, later by Ale­xan­der the Gre­at, after who­se death, it disin­teg­ra­ted into Hel­le­nis­tic sta­tes: Bit­hy­nia, Cap­pa­do­cia, Per­ga­mon, and Pon­tus (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Tur­key boasts nume­rous ancient monu­ments, espe­cial­ly in Ephe­sus, Ter­mes­sos, Hie­ra­po­lis, and Istan­bul (orbi​on​.cz). By the end of the 1st cen­tu­ry BCE, the Gre­eks were suc­ce­e­ded by the Roman Empi­re. After its col­lap­se in 395, Tur­key beca­me part of the Byzan­ti­ne Empi­re. From the 11th cen­tu­ry, Tur­kish sett­le­ment occur­red. In 1299, Osman I beca­me the first sul­tan of the Otto­man Empi­re, which las­ted until 1923 when Mus­ta­fa Kemal Ata­türk estab­lis­hed the repub­lic. Two mil­li­on Gre­eks left Tur­key, and about 500,000 Mus­lims spe­a­king Gre­ek, Alba­nian, and Bul­ga­rian moved to Tur­key from Gre­e­ce (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). A sig­ni­fi­cant Kur­dish mino­ri­ty resi­des in Turkey.

Tur­key is a rela­ti­ve­ly lar­ge coun­try with an area of 780,580 km² (wikit​ra​vel​.org), and it had over 68 mil­li­on inha­bi­tants in 2003 (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Tur­ke­y­’s fore­ign poli­cy has been direc­ted towards Euro­pe sin­ce the 20th cen­tu­ry. Tur­key is a foun­ding mem­ber of the OECD and joined NATO in 1952. Sin­ce 1959, when it app­lied for EEC mem­bers­hip, it has been acti­ve­ly see­king to join Euro­pe­an eco­no­mic struc­tu­res. Today, it aspi­res to join the Euro­pe­an Uni­on (Wiki​pe​dia​.sk). Rock cities in Cap­pa­do­cia and Pamuk­ka­le Nati­onal Park are among the inte­res­ting sites (orbi​on​.cz). The Euph­ra­tes, Tig­ris, and Aras rivers ori­gi­na­te in eas­tern (most moun­tai­nous) Tur­key (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). The hig­hest point is Mount Ara­rat, rea­ching 5,137 meters abo­ve sea level (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). It is a bor­der peak with Armenia.

The capi­tal of Tur­key is Anka­ra. Other well-​known cities inc­lu­de Anta­lya, the lar­gest city Istan­bul, Izmir, Trab­zon (wikit​ra​vel​.org), Bur­sa, Ada­na, Gazian­tep (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). Istan­bul is a city divi­ded into Euro­pe­an and Asian parts, con­nec­ted by the Bosp­ho­rus Brid­ge (wikit​ra​vel​.org). Accor­ding to GDP, Tur­key ranks 15th in the world (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz). The most popu­lar sport is foot­ball, with clubs like Besik­tas Istan­bul, Fener­bah­ce Istan­bul, Gala­ta­sa­ray Istan­bul, (Wiki​pe​dia​.cz), and Trab­zon­spor, a foot­ball club kno­wn to fans, often making a sig­ni­fi­cant impact in tra­di­ti­onal Euro­pe­an com­pe­ti­ti­ons. The nati­onal team achie­ved 3rd pla­ce in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
