Synopsis
Simon Reeve leads a team of journalists in a journey of discovery across Turkey. From the stunning mosques of Istanbul to the 'fairy chimneys' of Cappadocia and the forests of the Black Sea coast, Turkey is country of rich history and amazing landscapes.
It is also a divided country where the pro-Islamic government seems locked in conflict with the traditionally secular establishment, including the army, and where an armed conflict rumbles on with elements of the Kurdish minority in the South East.
CLIP: HUNTING WILD BOAR IN TURKEY
On a wild boar hunt in a Turkish forest, reporter Adil Ray experiences an unfamiliar strand of secular Islam that has a long tradition in Turkey.
TURKISH CONTRADICTIONS TEST ISLAM
Adil Ray looks at how Turkey's contradictions can be challenging for Muslims - but says there is a tremendous amount to learn.
