FAMILY RELATIONS

Turkish people consider family as a
cornerstone of society. Family relations

They respect their elders and love
their youngers. Parents support their
children financially until they get
married. Children take care of the
elders when they get sick or need help.
Sometimes three generations can live
together. It is important for Turkish

families.
