Turkey, country that occupies a unique geographic position, lying partly in Asia and partly in Europe. Nearly all of the country is in Asia, comprising the oblong peninsula of Asia Minor—also known as Anatolia (Anadolu)—and, in the east, part of a mountainous region sometimes known as the Armenian Highland. The remainder—Turkish Thrace (Trakya)—lies in the extreme south-eastern part of Europe. (https://www.britannica.com/place/Turkey)
