Turkey has been at the crossroad of multiple cultures and global economic advantage because of its natural geographical location and the Silk Road.

Explanation:

Turkey’s geographic location enabled it to be the bridge between the Western and Eastern parts of the World.  

Ancient civilizations like the Romans, Greek, Arabs, Mongols, Chinese and the Western more often were at crossroads at the peninsular regions between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea which largely comprises of Turkey.  

This region was the center point for many travelers, traders, and people in general which formed the Silk Road (Uzun Yol in the Turkish language). This Silk Road became the confluence of historical, cultural, religious and social events and acted as a great trading route from West to East and connected the Occident region with the Oriental regions.  

The Afghan merchants and Chinese could travel to Europe through Turkey. Since this served as a major conduit of trade and commerce, people from different parts of the world met and exchanged their culture, art, and architecture. Hence, Turkey was at both cultural and economic crossroad.

Turkey has been a crossroad for multiple cultures and an advantage of global economic exchange because of its excellent strategic location.

Explanation:

Turkey's territory has been place where numerous cultures interact and mix for millenniums. From ancient times, lot of different groups of people have been migrating through Turkey, or settling in Turkey. Such examples have been the:

  • Dorric people
  • Indo-Europeans
  • 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.
