Turkey

Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye), known officially as the Republic of Turkey (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti (help·info)), is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in western Asia and Trakya (Rumelia) in the Balkan region of southeastern Europe. Turkey borders eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west, Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhichevan), and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea, as is Cyprus, is to the south; the Aegean Sea and Archipelago are to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. Separating Anatolia and Trakya are the Sea of Marmara and the Bosporus, which are commonly reckoned to delineate the border between Asia and Europe, thereby making Turkey transcontinental.[2]
Because of its strategic location astride two continents, Turkey's culture has a unique blend of Eastern and Western tradition. A powerful regional presence in the Eurasian landmass with strong cultural and economic influence in the area between the European Union in the west and Central Asia in the east, Russia in the north and the Middle East in the south, Turkey has come to acquire increasing strategic significance.[3][4]
Turkey, a developed country, is a democratic, secular, unitary, constitutional republic whose political system was established in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, following the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I. Since then, Turkey has become increasingly integrated with the West while continuing to foster relations with the Eastern world.

Le sucre

Le sucre est un produit alimentaire d'origine végétale, composé pour l'essentiel de saccharose, et diverses substances naturelles appartenant à la classe des glucides responsables d'une des quatre saveurs gustatives fondamentales (le sucré).

Le saccharose est présent dans toutes les plantes contenant de la chlorophylle. Les sucres commercialisés sont essentiellement produits industriellement à partir de la canne à sucre et de la betterave sucrière. D'autres sources sont utilisées pour produire le glucose ou le fructose de plus en plus utilisés par l'industrie agroalimentaire et d'autres industries[1].
D'autres végétaux contiennent une quantité importante de sucre. Ils sont traditionnellement vendus sous forme de sirop :
- l'érable,
- le palmier-dattier (sucre de palme avec la sève, sucre de datte avec le fruit),
- les palmiers à sucre (comme le cocotier du Chili),
- le sorgho,
- l'agave américain.

Auto rickshaw

An Auto rickshaw (auto or rickshaw or tuk-tuk in popular parlance) is a vehicle for hire that is one of the chief modes of transport in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Sri Lanka and is popular in many other countries. It is a motorized version of the traditional rickshaw, a small two- or three-wheeled cart pulled by a person, and the velotaxi. A small number of auto rickshaws and tuk-tuks can be seen on the streets of China Town in London, although used mainly by tourists and not the local population. The auto rickshaw is also related to its Thai, Lao, Cambodian cousins, the tuk-tuk and the Bajaj in Indonesia and Sri Lanka, whereas in Brighton, England auto rickshaws are called tuctucs.
