ONLY IN TURKEY! VISA FEESTurkey with all the trimmings Bucking the recent trend toward higher visa fees for Americans traveling throughout the world, Turkey has cut the cost of obtaining a visa by 80 percent for American citizens. Another bonus of the effort to encourage U.S. tourists: lower fees for visiting cruise ships at all Turkey's ports. Brazil, China, Chile, Russia and Thailand are among the countries that have raised visa fees for U.S. travelers in recent months, partly in response to visa fee hikes and tightened entry requirements the United States imposed on foreign visitors after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Turkey, however, dropped its single-entry visa price for Americans from to effective last Thursday. Last month, the U.S. State Department lifted the warning against travel to Turkey that was issued after dual bomb attacks in Istanbul in November 2003. Requesting a visa to visit Turkey also has become easier. Application forms are now available on the Internet at www.turkishembassy.org/consularservices/forms, and leisure travelers can obtain the visa itself upon entry at any point in Turkey with only a passport valid for the next three months and cash. Visas can still be obtained through the Turkish consulates in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, New York and Washington. A passport photo is required along with the passport, visa form and fee. Turkey announced the reduction of cruise-ship fees at the recent SeaTrade Cruise Shipping Convention in Miami, saying port charges would drop by 40 to 50 percent. -- Christine Delsol, San Francisco Chronicle April 4, 2004 LINK: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2004/04/04/TRG7P5S0IO1.DTL

organisation: |
The central administration, headed by the PM and Ministers, is represented in the territory by 81 governors in the 81 provinces. (There is also a super governor for the State of Emergency region.) There are sub-governors at district level. Though similar to the French "prefet", the Governor is assisted by a directly elected provincial council, and district councils. Several ministries have offices at provincial and district level. (There are seven - geographical - regions in Turkey, essentially for statistical purposes.)
An autonomous local administration exists at the level of municipalities (16 large metropolitan municipalities (MM) - subdivided in sectors - and 3200 othe smaller towns) which elect a mayor and a municipal council. Istanbul MM has a population of 8.5 million, Ankara over 3 million, Izmir over 2 million.
In 50,000 villages a Council of Elders and village headman are directly elected by the village assembly. |
PARLIAMENT (TURKISH GRAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY)
- The Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA ) is a one-chamber parliament composed of 550 deputies. Elections are based on proportional representation subject to a national threshold of 10%.
- Elections take place every 5 years. The TGNA, as well as the President, can decide to hold new elections before the period of time is completed. Only if 5% of the total number of seats are vacated (death, resignation, etc.) an intermediary election is held.
- MPs are elected by party list, drawn up by absolute discretionary power of party leaders. Once elected, they gain access to immunity from prosecution, unless TGNA lifts immunity. After two years as MP, they get lifelong privileges.
- The TGNA works in the form of commissions which prepare legislation etc.
- The TGNA legislates, supervises the Council of Ministers, adopts the budget. It decides on declaring war, martial law or emergency rule; it approves international agreements, general or special amnesties.
- The laws passed by the TGNA are promulgated by the President within 15 days. The President may refer the law back to the Assembly for reconsideration.
- The TGNA elects the President of the Republic.
CUSTOMS UNION EU - TURKEY
The Customs Union was established in 1995. Important developments are as follows:
Turkey's share in EU's total exports was 2.3% in 1995 and 2.7% in 1999 (the latest available figure). The same figure for imports was 1.7% in 1995 and 1.9% in 1999. As one can see, Turkey's share both in term of imports and exports in EU's trade developed positively and in equal manners. As of 1999, Turkey is the EU's 7th biggest export destination (up from 9 in 1990) and 13th biggest exporter to the EU (up from 17 in 1990). This shows that both sides profited from the Customs union agreement.
