- Caucasus people
- Celtic people
- Balkan people
- Mongol people
- Turkic people
- Arab people
- Iranian people
- Italic people
All of these people have been creating a very mixed and interesting culture in Turkey, as all of them were interacting, mixing, adopting cultural traits from each other. One of the main reasons as to why so many different people have been moving into this territory has been the economic advantage. Turkey is connecting Europe and Asia, and the majority of the trade between these two continents was going through it, so whoever controlled the trade was having huge economic advantage. This trend has continued even in modern times, as Turkey is crucial in the trade between Europe and the Middle East, as well as controlling the Bosphorus, thus controlling trade between the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.
