Turkey is in Europe or not   I want this topic to be clearly discussed under this topic I find it silly to put Turkey in the list of Asian countries Anatolian side of Turkey is geographically in Asia and the Thrace side is in Europe So we have to see political and historical relationships of Turkey I want ask how many of you have seen Turkey playing in Asian football cup Why is Turkey accepted to be a candidate for European Union if it doesnt belong to Europe If the deal is cultural history then i advise you to see Turkish constructions in Greece Bulgaria Bosnia Macedonia Serbia or visit a Museum in Wien to learn if Turks have ever been there If a religious seperation is the reason i have nothing to say  I strictly insist on this subject and would edit the entries that show Turkey in Asia unless a offical dokument is posted here Please do not come back with absurd maps because each of them has different borders that supports their unrealibility I do not want to paint my own and post here Thanks alot for your contributions
