    A British government web-site has declared that Turkish and Kurdish
    are Turkey's official languages.

    The web-site, 'www.fco.gov.uk' is prepared by the Foreign Office
    which aims to inform British citizens, who are to choose Turkey for
    vocation.

    Short information about Turkey's surface, size and capital includes
    'Simple Info' which lists the official languages of Turkey as Turkish
    and Kurdish.

    The web-site also indicates that 85 percent of the people living in
    Turkey are Turks,12 percent Kurdish and the rest include those from
    Islamic nations and Armenians and Jews. It has also been reminded
    that Turkey stands on a seismic fault-line and has recently suffered
    terrorist attacks targeting the HSBC and British Consulate in
    Istanbul.
