Turkey belongs to Asia.

Turkey is a country spanning Europe and Asia. Turkey starts from the Balkans in the west and reaches the Caucasus Mountains in the east, with a total length of 1000 miles. It is bordered by the Black Sea in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south, second only to Russia in Europe (30 1 1,000 square miles). It has a mild climate and complex terrain, from coastal plains to mountainous grasslands, from cedar forests to endless grasslands.

Although Turkey is an Asian country, it adopts the European model in the political, economic and cultural fields and is a candidate for the European Union. According to the Constitution, Turkey is a country with democracy, separation of church and state and rule of law. The focus of Turkey's diplomacy is on the West, strengthening its relations with European countries while maintaining its traditional strategic partnership with the United States.

The 5,000-mile coastline of the Turkish mainland is dotted with several well-preserved Aegean and Mediterranean beaches. The towering Mount Ale is as high as 17725 feet. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the scenery is the most spectacular, attracting many tourists. In addition, it is a country with many rivers and lakes, and both the Tigris River and the Euphrates River originate here.

The Mediterranean and Aegean regions have mild winters, while the snow season in the eastern mountainous areas lasts for several months and is extremely cold. Generally speaking, Turkey has long summers, high temperatures and little rainfall. Winter brings snowfall and cold rain. There is plenty of rain in orchards, wheat fields and reservoirs, and plenty of sunshine in vineyards and people who go to the seaside. Climate diversity shows that Turkey is rich in crop varieties.
