Geographically, Turkey is not Europe, right?

  Mostly not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Thrace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Thrace Then again, what is Europe, geographically? If I count continents, I count something often call "eurasia" as one continent, not two. I think cutting it in two over some mountain rig is a bit, well, arbitrary.

    In 2015, the "European" Games were held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Another dodgy president (Ilham Aliyev), if you count Azerbaijan as Europe.

      As stated I do not see a "geographical europe" on the map. I see eurasia. And being "european" definitely has nothing to do with having clean politicians.

    Russians are always caught in the middle. Not quiete European, and they don't want to be, but not quite Asian. Always a clash of values there.
