Turkey news: what’s happening now in politics, economy and travel

Looking for quick, useful updates on Turkey? This tag page gathers the latest stories on Turkish politics, the economy, travel tips, and social change — all in one place. We focus on facts you can use: who’s making the decisions, what the markets are doing, and what travelers need to know right now.

Politics & foreign policy

Turkey’s politics move fast — from local elections to foreign policy shifts. Expect coverage on government decisions, opposition moves, and Ankara’s relations with the EU, NATO, Russia, and neighbors like Syria. We flag major policy changes, security developments, and speeches that could affect trade or travel. If a new law or diplomatic deal breaks, you’ll find the key facts and plain-language context here.

Economy, markets and business

The lira, inflation, and central bank decisions matter to businesses and people. We track currency moves, inflation reports, and big corporate news — like new investments or energy deals. You’ll get clear summaries of economic reports, how they affect prices and jobs, and practical advice for exporters, investors, or anyone planning a trip to Turkey.

Tourism news is part of the economy coverage. We note airline route changes, visa updates, and tourism data so you can plan ahead. If a region posts travel advisories or a major festival returns, we explain what that means for visitors.

Want business insight? Look for short explainers on tariffs, trade agreements, and sectors that matter — tourism, construction, tech, and energy. We point to primary sources and expert reactions so you can judge the story yourself.

How do we pick stories? We prioritize confirmed facts, official statements, and reporting from reliable local and international outlets. Where reports conflict, we show both sides and note what’s verified.

Travelers: check our quick guides. We cover safety tips, entry rules, health notices, and seasonal advice for Istanbul, Antalya, Cappadocia and coastal areas. Need to know about taxis, local apps, or cultural norms? We keep it practical and up to date.

sports and culture updates also appear under this tag. Expect coverage of Turkish football, major cultural events, and stories that matter to everyday life — protests, court rulings, and social change. These pieces help you understand how big events affect daily routines.
