It's both Geographically, As the country touch both continent. But Turkey would like to consider them self as European (EU Application) as it has more advantages in terms of market.

Landmass, should be Asia since there is where their majority of land belong. Politically, depend on the country itself. Like Kazakhstan, lies in Asia but their football team play under UEFA.

Turkey is a nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Cosmopolitan Istanbul, on the Bosphorus Strait, is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace, former home of sultans.

QUOTE(cyh03176 @ Mar 21 2017, 12:33 PM) well, turkey made applications to enter EU and it's pending. so i guess it's in europe since EU did not reject the application straightaway? Well, political border speaking, they are not in europe yet, they just a member of NATO. Geographically speaking, the are in between europe and asia. Historically speaking, they actually have europe, asia and north africa in their empire. |
