Turkey is one of the few countries that spans two continents. Over 95% of Turkey is in Southwest Asia and this part is called the Anatolian Peninsula, while the other continent it is part of is Europe, with a percentage of less than 5%, being called the Balkan Peninsula.
It borders 8 other countries: Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan to the northeast; Iran to the east; Iraq and Syria to the south. It is a member state of the UN, NATO, OSCE, OIC, OECD and the Council of Europe. 2005 saw the opening of negotiations between the European Union and officials in Turkey's capital Ankara.
The landfall between the two Turkish peninsulas is the Bosphorus Strait. Anatolia has the Black Sea in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south. In the west are the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. Geographers consider Turkey a part of Europe because of its cultural, political and historical characteristics. Turkey's geographical position between Europe and Asia and between the three seas has been a historical crossroads, being the homeland and battleground of many civilisations and a huge trading centre.
