| British: Turkey fully in Asia? Look at a map, and you will see that Turkey extends much farther east than a lot of the Middle East and Caucus. saying that Turkey is Europe is like saying that Bolivia, and Bolivia alone, is not in South America, let's just say it's its own continent: Bolivana. 2) Sporcle is not a very reliable source. Great site and all, but its just for fun, made by the public, minimal quality control, and is bound to make mistakes. A general consensus between every international organization, Scientists who's entire job is this issue, and every country in the world, on the other hand, do not make mistakes. Look at a map, search 'Turkey' on Wikipedia, CIA factbook, EU info, anything really. It's it's in Asia. Actually, it's the definition of Asia. Asia used to refer just to Anatolia, and a small surrounding area (north Syria, Iraq, the Caucus). 3) provide a source. Zeppelinoid has, and I have provided many places to confirm what I have said. You have resorted to what I call the theological defense (Nu-uh! ______ (usually the bible, in defense of the bible) said so! You're wrong! I'm right! I don't need proof!), which by the way, has absolutely no merit whatsoever. 4) about the Greek islands, not only are the easternmost islands labeled as part of Asia, but have been for the past 3000 years. The eastern islands have always been part of Ionia, also known as 'the Greek place in Asia' Also, look at a map, you will see that there are islands as close as 2km, or only 2km more than the distance between Canada and the US. |
