Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Turkey accepting of differences?

"Turkey is a diverse country with a population that is composed of many different ethnic and religious groups. People in Turkey are generally accepting of differences and have a strong sense of national pride. There is a long history of cultural exchange and intermingling between different groups, which has helped to create a tolerant and open-minded society," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Turkey.

"Turkey is mostly islamic, but very open to other cultures, religions, ways of life, etc. And the west of Turkey even more. Antalya, as touristic city full of europeans and russians visiting, has accepted other cultures and other beleifs, and is very open and welcoming to foreigners. They love people coming from abroad that come to visit their country. For example, in Antalya not many women wear headscarves, and they are not discriminated wether they wear it or not. But, speaking with many turkish friends and strangers, there is one thing that I reckon happens in all Turkey. They are quite homophobic, so, if you are gay, do not show it, unless you know the people and you trust them," commented one expat who made the move to Antalya, Turkey.
