The people living in the west of Turkey are, though, very different from those living in the mid and east of the country (Anatolia), and those, again, are very different from the ones living in the far border regions (Kurds). The western Turkish are sometimes almost western, while the Anatolians (who live in the country) are mostly conservative and traditional. Kurds are a kind of their own and live in the border region of Turkey, Iraq and Iran. They have been persecuted by the (conservative) Turks for quite some time (and are so, as of now).
There are some animators from Tunisia working in turkish hotels, btw (as well as in Egypt).
