Turkey is a country with a livable climate, charming scenery, a youthful and fashionable atmosphere, and great vitality. Walking through the various cities of Turkey, one can intuitively feel the secular atmosphere, a sentiment deeply shared by those who have visited the country!
Worldway Group experts state that Turkey's secularization reform has a long history! As one of the earlier countries to achieve secularization, Turkey's adoption of Western-style secular systems—such as freedom and democracy—has long been considered the foundation for its stable economic and social development. It can be said that today's Turkey is a thoroughly democratic, open, modern, and secular nation with freedom of religious belief.
Turkey's Secularization Reform
Since its founding in 1923, the father of the nation, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, established a secular Republic of Turkey, laying the cornerstone for its secularization and the direction of its modernization. Kemalism, the founding principle of Turkey, consists of six pillars, one of which is secularism—the pursuit of a Western-style separation of religion and state, a nation-state, and a model of modernization. This has been the goal Turkey has pursued since its inception.
In terms of political reform, Turkey abolished Islamic law and, using European laws as a blueprint, formulated three major codes: civil, criminal, and commercial, while also removing the provision that "Islam is the state religion" from the constitution.
In terms of social reform, Turkey abolished the old calendar and adopted the Gregorian calendar. Regarding attire, traditional Islamic clothing was replaced with casual wear and Western-style suits. At the same time, the requirement for women to wear headscarves was abolished, and education was separated from religion, replaced by basic education and vocational training in industry, agriculture, mining, and teacher training.
It is evident that Turkey's system of separation of religion and state is indeed different from countries that hold Islam as their state religion. In this nation that carries a European identity, one can clearly see the historical and cultural roots of its secularization and openness.
The Secular Charm of Turkey
Currently, Turkish people primarily dress in Western styles, and most women do not wear headscarves or robes. In cities large and small across Turkey, the attire of pedestrians is similar to that in Western and Southern European countries; it is rare to see anyone with their face covered. Fashionably dressed young men and women, whether walking on the street, relaxing in scenic spots, or sitting in street bars and cafes, are mostly dressed in modern styles, exuding a sense of freedom and openness.
Turkish nightlife is also very rich and colorful, with no taboos against drinking alcohol. Generally, restaurants in Islamic countries do not sell alcoholic beverages, but in Turkey, restaurants offer a full range of wines, and waiters will proactively recommend wines, beers, and other drinks prohibited by Islam to accommodate domestic and international tourists.
In Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, you can personally experience the high degree of secularization in Turkey. The vibrant streets here are no different from those in other major metropolises around the world. Turkish women enjoy showing their hair, presenting a beautiful and natural look, and there are even young women who like to wear shorts to show off their slender legs, which makes women in surrounding Islamic countries envious.
Currently, Turkey's intellectual elite, including the armed forces who see themselves as defenders of secularism, generally hold a strong "pro-Western" sentiment, and the secular atmosphere in their living environment is even more pronounced. At the same time, Turkey has many maritime routes connecting to numerous European countries and is the busiest maritime transport hub connecting Europe and Asia. This modern international environment all points to Turkey's secular trajectory!

The Istanbul Canal project will split the European side of Istanbul in two, and by then, the location of Edim Mansion will be surrounded by the Black Sea, the Istanbul Canal, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosphorus Strait, forming a new island.
The Turkish government plans to invest heavily to build this island into a Turkish "Manhattan" that integrates economy, finance, commerce, culture, tourism, education, and medical care. It will stand alongside Manhattan in the United States, the City of London, and Central in Hong Kong, becoming one of the areas with the greatest appreciation potential in the global real estate market. It is evident that the location of Edim Mansion will be the future new business district of Istanbul, with huge room for appreciation.
