>>212553525 (OP)in turkey turkey is considered a transcontinental country that lies across both europe and asia
but we don't necessarily think of turkey as a european country but we also don't consider balkans and eastern europe as european either in that definition
european generally refers to western europe in turkish context
so when you guys consider armenia and georgia european and turkey not it might seem weird to turkish people because we consider armenia and georgia and the balkans as closer to ourselves rather than to western europe
