Thessaly

Thessaly – Greece

Thessaly (Thessalia) is geographically the central section of mainland Greece. It is surrounded by high mountain ranges encircling a low plain. It borders with the regions of Macedonia to the north, Sterea Ellada to the south, Epirus to the west, and its eastern shoreline is on the Aegean sea. It has the highest percentage of flatland than any other district in Greece.

Turkey is a secular country and the people are overwhelmingly Muslim. By some estimates, more than half of Turkish women wear a headscarf. The right of women to wear the Islamic headscarf is at the heart of a fierce debate. It has resulted in a clash between those favoring the secular principles of the state, such as the Turkish Army, and those who are more conservative with their religious beliefs.
