How can you say that if Turkey is half in Asia and Half in Europe? It is also in South East Europe!
no it should be in asia because all the cities of turkey come in asia accept istanbul.so they should take istanbul in asia too.
Like matters of scientific fact, geography should also be subject to a vote. make it asia because most part of turkey is in asia only one city of turkey that is istanbul is in europe so turkey should only be in asia.
no it should be in asia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes u r correct i agree with u
Let's make it part of Antarctica. It could use the tourism Euros...
I think Instabul is Constantinoples, and is Greek.
Maybe the best solution, would be return of Instabul to Greece,
and Vosporos becomes the new border between
real Europe country - Greece - and between Asia,
with Turkey and Ankara, the capital, cited in East Asia.
Just see a map and research REAL history, not the
media history and places the President decides to visit.
what is Europe? a peninsula of a continent called Asia. Limited Geographical knowledge resulted in these two continents.
Modern Turks, or at least most of them, were Greeks before they adopted Turkish. Anyway, Greeks wanted most of the Asia Minor as their territory. If only this would have happened - Greek kebabs and Pakistani/Indian kababs would be bros. I was munching only kebabs at Melrose retaurant in Chicago and that was a Greek restaurant. Never knew what was around the corner!
when I took the train to Ankara I was in asia but when I returned to Constantinople I found meself in europe. I was confused for sure but I liked the food (mostly). the whirling dervishes came from egypt but they made me dizzy.

Actually, it's Phoenician.
My favourite Turkish restaurant was called Istanbul. Or Anatoli?
Never mind.
But it was in a whirling-dervish-free-zone.
Few people know that Istabul is not only an alternative name to Constantinople used by Turkey, but is in fact still a Greek description 'I stin poli' which means 'in the town'. Turkey bludgeoning theft of this city and many others such as Smirni has been used to disguise the geographical excuse that Turkey is within Europe. The answer is that the conquered territory from Greece is european and the rest is in Asia. Its ok, de-facto is de-facto now, but if Turkey is really europe then it follows that so should Armenia and aspiring Kurdistan.
