@AhmetwithaT2 years agoYou know what bothers me the most about is Turkey European or Asian issue? Whenever a website asks me to pick region, you'll have Turkey under Europe on others you'll have it under the Asia on others yet you'll have it under the Middle East so every time I just have to guess which. So developers everywhere, I would just much prefer it if you put Turkey on its own category. Not Europe, Asia or Middle East, just Turkey. Thanks. ...503

@user-jh9nx6tl1n2 years agoUmm in the past, when corn was first introduced in Turkey, it is said to came from Egypt. Egypt is "Mısır" in Turkish. So people called it "Mısır darısı" which means "Egyptian millet". They dropped the "darısı" part so corn just become Mısır. ...49

@randomobserver81682 years agoFor most of history it would have made no sense for anyone but a horse nomad to travel to Asia via Ukraine rather than Anatolia. That would be picking an empty, underpopulated steppe traversed by dangerous horse nomads until lighting in urban civilization in Transoxiana, rather than going through the cities and towns and somewhat travelled routes of Anatolia, Syria and Persia, all pretty much the 'Asia' that people meant anyway. ...82

@rossellinirossicalrossc35072 years agoPeople like to discount Turkey’s “Europeaness”, but Eastern Thrace (the part of Turkey that is geographically part of Europe) has a population of 11 million people, that’s larger than the populations of Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Greece, Switzerland, Bulgaria and many, many more! It isn’t an insignificant tiny piece of wasteland. Yes, the vast majority of the country is in Asia, but there are still literally more Turks in Europe than Greeks, or Czechs, or Scots…. ...120

@aysenur67612 years agoI'd say that, as a Muslim turkish citizen, 95% of Turkey's population being Muslim is not relevant anymore.

@Dengesiyz2 years agoa little correction, izmir is in aegean region not in marmara like said at . also i'm from turkey and i can say that %95 islamic population is not realistic. i know thats come from official counts but in turkey you assigned to a religion from birth; mostly islam, because of family members. even your family members are non-islamic (mostly ateist or deist); they tent to assign you as muslim. because the peer and government pressure (last 10 years for g. pressure). well, no pressure offically, thanks to secular government (and essentially Atatürk), but you can have some "difficulties" as government employee also as private sector employee. if nothing else mobbing from workmates and bosses. so turkey has growing non-theist believes especially in younger generations but mostly slient because of that shits. %70-80 more reliable, also (likely) %70 of muslims are secular people and on harsh rules of islam, they does not count as muslims by strict muslim believers. because they tend to drink alcohol and lack of religious rituals (namaz, oruç, kurban, etc). ...48

@box53192 years agoThe progress of Turkish defence industry and foreign policy in the past decade is quite astonishing and is one that left all its foes and friend mouth wide agape in equal measures needless to mention its growth in both soft and hard power too,especially in middle east and Africa. Turkey has successfully presented itself as an afroasian country,with its airline flying to 60 African city,second after Ethiopian airline and first in cargo services in Africa. Turkey also has military deals with several African countries like Libya,somalia and recently Niger. Turkish government prowess in foreign policy advancement in Africa is at its climax as it has opened embassies in 45 African countries and that has pitted her against her western alliance, especially France which always saw Africa as its cash cow. Turkey's involvement in Africa is one that come in a multifaceted manner,ranging from education, heath,construction, diplomacy, military deals and trade. Disequilibrium in world power polarity notwithstanding, I hold the considered opinion that Turkey has cut itself a niche in international system under the stewardship of current president Taib Rajab erdogan.respect from Kenya 🇰🇪East africa ...13

@michaelsmith54302 years agoMurmansk and Vladivostok are Russian ports open year round that aren't bottlenecked by Turkey and Denmark. Murmansk is kept ice free year round by the tail ends of the north Atlantic current. Actually the Baltic ports like St Petersburg aren't even ice free year round, and from December to May Murmansk, far to the north, replaces St Petersburg as the primary port of the Northwest. That's how powerful of an effect the north Atlantic current has on the environment of the area. Even further to the north the western sections of the island of Svalbard have ice free waters year round, well north of the Arctic circle. Though of course this is not relevant to Russia. ...36

@guyr.60532 years agoAnother answer to this question could be in the realm of Climate: The Anatolian plateau contributes to the circular motion of cold air masses converging with hot air masses over the East Mediterranean, thus creating the Cyprus Low fronts, lasting for 3 days approx. moving west to east. This is crucial for the short rainy season of the Levant - Only ~5 months of quality rainy season, out of which 90% of rain comes in a few of those Cyprus Lows. It's wonderful how climate forms and depends on topography, even in the Meso scale. :) ...3
