TURKIYE
Turkiye,
The land of legends
Where the charming prince of Asia meets
The gorgeous lady of Europe
And tells her all about his wonderful dreams.
Over thousands and thousands of years,
This unique land has had many glorious and gloomy days
And can have a major role on the world stage.
Now and then,
This united land wishes to be
The centre of world trade
And loves to make everybody a true friend.
Turkiye,
The land of lovers
Where the charming prince of Asia meets
The gorgeous lady of Europe
And tells her this famous maxim:
“Peace at home,
Peace in the world.”*
G G Gench
*Peace at home, peace in the world.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 1881 - 1938.
