Family Relations

Family Relations are very close among Turks. They respect their elders and support each other in every way possible. Parents do support their children financially until they get married. When the child gets married the financial support may continue but it is expected that the new family could earn enough to take care of themselves. Children care very much about their elders. They take care of their elders and support them when they get old or sick both financially and emotionally. This close relationship is a kind of boomerang, elders support children when they are young, children support their elders when they are old..
