Ankara

As I said below, Bilkent is in Ankara, the capitol city of Turkey. It's in the northwestern part of the central area of the country. It’s a fairly large city, over 3 million people, ranking 50th in the world for city population and 92nd for urban area population. By comparison, Los Angeles ranks 40th and 9th, Chicago is 55th and 22nd, Melbourne is 48th and 94th, Rome is 65th and 85th, Berlin is 52nd and 71st, and Madrid is 56th and 52nd.


Wikipedia has a good entry about Ankara.
