About British Turkish Society

The British Turkish Society was founded in 2004 as a bridge between the two communities. It is our aim to establish a long lasting connection between British and Turkish cultures. Despite the fact that a well developed country such as the UK and a country like Turkey, which is trying to make it to the 21 st century without forgetting its cultural backgrounds, may seem to have very little in common, it is true that the coexistence of cultures enrich one another. Moreover, we cannot dismiss the increasing number of British people living in Turkey and the Turkish people living in Britain as well as the number of intercultural movements existing in both countries. Therefore, we believe that the intellectual and modern west should meet with poignant east on a ground that west east should be connected in a global world and for the peace of humanity.
