Yes, Turkey has a history of slavery. Like many other societies throughout history, slavery has been a part of Turkish society at various times. 

In the Ottoman Empire, the dominant power in the region for many centuries, enslaved people were often used as labourers, soldiers, and administrators. Enslaved people were also used in the harem, where they were responsible for the care and well-being of the women who lived there.

Slavery in the Ottoman Empire was a complex and multi-faceted institution, and the experiences of enslaved people varied widely depending on their circumstances. 

Some enslaved people were treated relatively well and given essential responsibilities. In contrast, others were treated very poorly and subjected to harsh conditions. 

Slavery was officially abolished in the Ottoman Empire in 1853 and is now illegal in Turkey. However, there are still instances of modern-day slavery and human trafficking in Turkey and other countries worldwide.
