Hello, young readers!

I'm Ferit Orhan Pamuk a Turkish novelist, screenwriter and recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize

in Literature.

Let me take you to Turkey, where East meets West, a place where ancient traditions dance with

modern aspirations. Turkish culture is very family oriented. They strongly believe that people

should maintain ties with their relatives and care for their parents and elders into their old age.

I am one of Turkey's most prominent novelists, who has sold over 13 million books in 63

languages, that makes me country's best-selling writer. changing the image of a novelist as a

militant intellectual can be considered my most important contribution to Turkey.

Through my stories, I invite you to explore the magic of Turkey, where legends come alive and

dreams find their wings.

Hello, everyone!

I'm Azra Akin, a Turkish-Dutch Model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World 2002.

Besides acting and modeling I love drawing, dancing, reading and playing the German flute. I
am delighted to share with you the wonders of Turkey, a country that holds a special place in my

heart.

Turkey has diverse cultures, ancient history, and breathtaking landscapes. In Turkey you'll

witness the vibrant tapestry of Turkish hospitality, warm smiles, and mouthwatering cuisine.

The combination of natural beauty, historic and cultural sites, along with great food, makes

Turkey one of the top tourist destinations in the world.

Welcome to Turkish culture, where every moment is filled with wonder!

With love and excitement, Azra Akin

Turkey Flag Significance

Good morning judges, teachers and young readers!

I am Vaishnavi, student of grade -2 from Unicent School, Bowrampet.

Today I am going to speak about Turkey’s National Flag.

The Turkish flag’s design is said to represent the moon and a star reflected in a pool of blood during the Battle
of Kosovo. The flag’s design consists of a red background with a white crescent and star in the center. The
crescent represents development, and the five-pointed star symbol represents guidance. Together, they
symbolize the Turkish people's aspiration to strive for progress and enlightenment.

Thank you.
