Modern Ankara Background by Kuznetsov_Sergey
As it is well known Ankara is the capital of Turkey and the country's second largest city after İstanbul. The city has a mean elevation of 850 m and as of 2007 the city had a population of 4 million people.Following the Ottoman defeat at World War I, the Ottoman capital Istanbul and much of Anatolia were occupied by the Allies, who planned to share these lands between the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Greece, leaving the Turks only a small piece of land in central Asia Minor. In response, the leader of the Turkish nationalist movement, Kemal Atatürk, established the headquarters of his resistance movement in Ankara in 1920. After the War of Independence was won, the Turkish nationalists replaced the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Turkey and Ankara had replaced İstanbul (formerly Constantinople) as the new Turkish capital city, on 13 October 1923.
Now it is the center of the Turkish Government, and houses all foreign embassies.
The city is famous for its long-haired Angora goat and its prized wool (mohair), a unique breed of cat (Angora cat), white rabbits and their prized wool (Angora wool).
