Turkey
Dear Frank,
In my life I have been very successful but my life hasn’t been the same ever since World War One (WW1) where theOttoman Empire was broken up because they sided with the wrong side. That’s how theOttoman Empire lost the war. The only thing remaining of the Ottoman Empire is my home town of
Istanbul.
Istanbul isn’t your average city. It’s actually sitting on top of two continents. Now you don’t hear that every day. Ever since the end of World War One. My people have been under control of a new leader his name is Mustafa Ataturk but we call him Kemal Ataturk it means father of the Turks. Even though some of my people consider themselves European or Asian they still practice Muslim faith. The non religious politics have been struggling for control over the turkey government but for a long time we have been holding off the non religious politics from taking total control of the Turkish government and changing if we even worship religion any more. We have been living a good enough life here in
Turkey. Who knows, if the non religious politics take over our happy life could go down the drain and we could go from having a happy and equally balanced out life to a miserable and chaotic life style .They could even split us from our families. Well we shouldn’t think too far into the future we have been lucky because I’ve figured out that my government is planning on joining NATO (
North Atlantic treaty organization) and probably joining the European Union. Still to think my people in
Istanbul have been having a good life. Soon someone will change the way that we live because unfortunately we can’t live like this forever I better enjoy this well it lasts.
Your friend, Larry
