Anatolia and Western features. During the first years of the Republic, the government invests
lots of money into fine arts, such as museums, theaters, and architecture.
99% of Turks are Muslim. Religion has an important role in the Turkish Customs and
Traditions. During the Ottoman Empire, it was more important. There are religious festivals,

festivals are good times for Turks to visit their relatives and hometowns.
