This film presents Turkey's history and contribution to Western defence and the Atlantic Community.

"Introducing Turkey" is part of a series originally designed as "Know your Allies", and finally titled "the Atlantic Community Series". Its objectives were to familiarise public opinion in each member country with the other Alliance members and to emphasise national contributions to Western culture and political traditions, economic reconstruction and defence in the framework of NATO.

The series was produced between 1954 and 1956 and financed by the US government in the context of the Marshall Plan, with the cooperation of the Information Service of NATO, and distributed by NATO. The films in the Atlantic Community Series received large non-theatrical distribution and, in some cases, were shown in cinemas and on TV.
