Turkey is not in europe.
- dragandj 9y agoHow so? Their CAPITAL, and decent chunk of territory are on the continent called Europe. a couple tens of millions citizens live there. Just counting those would put them in the first ten-ish most populous countries in Europe.
- muro 9y agoDid they move their capital? I thought Ankara was in Asia.
- dragandj 9y agoGood catch :) I'm so accustomed to Istanbul being the center of the Turkey's economy and former Ottoman power. However, that does not change the point. Istanbul and the European chunk of Turkey (+ Izmir and Aegean coast which was in "Byzantine" zone of influence) is a huge chunk of Turkey.
- observation 9y agoIt's best to avoid the topic or we'll be encountering Scott and Daniel.
- gokhan 9y agoMy employer (one of the big three) thinks otherwise :) My manager is in UK, for example.
- arethuza 9y agoGiven that Turkey has the worlds most famous transcontinental city it does rather imply that Turkey itself is spread across more than one continent.
- m00dy 9y agoWe are in the history of every possible EU country :) How come we are not in EU ? :)
