Turkeye

Turkeye is a hamlet of Sluis, a municipality located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western part of the Netherlands.

== Name == Even though the settlement is regular hamlet in the province of Zeeland, the name Turkeye is probably an old spelling for Modern Dutch Turkije (English: Turkey; ). The name supposedly derives from relations between the Ottoman Turks and the Netherlands. The name of the road to it is the Turkijeweg which means Turkey Road in Dutch. Signs in the hamlet play into the name, saying ("How happy is the one, who says 'I am a Turk) or ("Welcome"). There are also paintings of Ottoman sultans on some walls. Monique Sturm, who has been a volunteer Turkish ambassador in the hamlet for 30 years, turned a part of her house into a Turkish museum with items she brought from Turkey.
