Is Turkey a European country

Genetically Turkish are mostly (>95%) Greek. Linguistically Turkish is Asian. Religiously Turkish is Arabian Islam. It's a mosaic really.
Okay Ruskie :lol: So what now you're a Turcologist? Here, eat a snickers :rofl:

This is not a yes or no question but the answer is the following:

-culturally not really even thought some elements are european
-geographically partially
-politically yes
-militarily yes
-economically mostly
-historically yes for most part
-demographically also partially

See the answer is not easy in this case, best description would be Eurasian like Russia.
Don't fall for it. Russians are Europeans. There's only one really Eurasian country on this planet and that country is Turkey. Only we can claim both sides without having to actually decide on whose side we are.

I would say Russians are Europeans but Russia is Eurasian country, and Turks are Asians, but Turkey is also Eurasian country.

Depends on which russians you means, many locals are pure asians completely different from slavs yet they are part of russia.

Turks arent homogenic, i have only 60% asian genetics.
 
We are African

Kara Boga all the way

On a serious note I always considered us Turks to be Asian. I dont see anything wrong in that.
 
No we are not. And we shouldnt strive to be and are not. We should increase our trade opportunities with them etc but not take many of their bad values too. We should take the best from anywhere in the world be it Europe,Asia, Americas and implement it and try to make it better. We have our own unique culture.

As Eastern Europe moves to EU severing ties with Russia while China and Central Asia develop further, Russia will move towards a more Asian identity.

Russia could care less about eastern Europe. Hungary, Romania, Finland, Croatia, Bulgaria murdered as many Russians as Germans did if not more in Operation Barbarossa. Let them go to their Yankee masters and kiss Yankee feet.
