- Did you know that Turkey lies partly in Asia and partly in Europe? The European portion of Turkey only comprises 3% of the country and the rest of the country lies in Asia. We asked some locals if they think it's a good or bad thing for Turkey to be a transcontinental country. Watch the full video here ► • Does Turkey Belong To ...

Please do _Is Indonesia in Asia or Oceania?_
As an Indonesian, I don't consider myself an Asian at all.
If Cypus is apart of Europe, I would think Turkey (which is right above) would be Europe. But bc their Muslim, I think they and other ppl rather be Asia.
As a Turk i would say both. There is also a term it's called "Eurasia".
Eurasia is not a thing
No or Hayiz.... Eurasia is not,Turk is Asian No Europe at all
@@streetscienceofficial8675I’m black and when I was in Istanbul , They kept telling me they are European but saw them as Asians.
I was confused when they kept asking whether I was Pakistani cos I’m Muslim, yet some of them looked more Asian/ Pakistani and I’m east African. They see themselves as white Europeans 😅
@@Zazezoo well of course that's what they will say if your in Istanbul, Turks diverged from a group of people called the Huns. The Huns were a ancient nomadic group of people that lived in northeast Asia, and diverged into groups that being Turks and Mongols. Turks started moving closer to Anatolia which was already inhabited by Anatolian farmers who were essentially Greek. To make this short, Turks started mixing with different groups of people causing a lot to have middle eastern, Mediterranean, and European features.
@@streetscienceofficial8675 actually Turks were generally a mixed people the further west they went
As someone who's not from Turkey, and not even from Europe or Asia (I'm from Canada), Turkey is in Eurasia, which means it's part of a bridge between both continents, in my mind. To me, this probably makes Turkey a very special and unique place. I hope to visit it someday.
Russia is same

Turks were originally a central Asian people who resided in modern day Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Asian Russia, and Northern China. During the medieval era they conquered, then migrated through Iran to Anatolia where they would mix with the surrounding peoples to a profound degree. So by origin, language, and geography they are Asian. But by race and culture they are generally closer to Europe and the Middle East. (Turkish American btw)
we dont have european dna
there is mainly 3 diffrent type of Turkish dna
1- 45% anatolian 40% Turkic 15% zagrosian or/and caucasian
2-40% anatolian 25% Turkic 35%zagrosian and caucasian
3- 35% Turkic 30% anatolian 35% european and caucasian (rare)
if you want to check yourself look at Turkish dna results in illustrative dna
@@DoofyGilmore1299 I took a DNA and there was a lot of Greek and Albanian, some Iranian, Azeri, and Central Asian. Turks controlled a quarter of Europe for hundreds of years, there was a great degree of mixing with various Balkan ethnicities in that period. To say Turks don't have European dna is just factually incorrect.
@@DoofyGilmore1299 Perhaps you are from a part of Turkey with less European admixture, but your average Turk has at least some. Even more so in coastal and western areas of the country.
@@ArthurGencer average Turk has 2% european dna which dna test you did there is no way a Turk get more than 35% european dna
@@DoofyGilmore1299 According to the National Library of Medicing, Turks have a parental ancestry coefficient of 38% European, 35% Middle Eastern, 18% South Asian, and 9% Central Asian. I mean, just look at the people in the video we are commenting under. A bunch of them have blue eyes and/or light skin. It's pretty obvious.
Turkey sits in both Asia and Europe. We call these types of countries, transcontinental countries. Countries like France, the UK, Russia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, etc. are other examples.
Besides, the first region to be called Asia is the Anatolian Peninsula, which is the biggest chunk of Turkey today. The Roman province of Asia is also in Turkey.
Without the region where Turkey sits, the word Asia won't even exist.
France and UK?? Wtf
@@mindslayer13 There's UK in the Indian Ocean, the tip of Spain, in Cyprus and the Caribbean. Same with France. There is France in the Pacific, South America, Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean.
Turkey is a beautiful mix of Europe and Asia . They are so beautiful

@@kadircanyldran1849 very unique sounding
It kind of sounds like Swedish to me. I’ve never heard the Turkish language being spoken before. Pretty cool.
@@JRo-ld9db how did you achieve that? I mean is it really the first time ypu hear turkish language?
Turkish is a agglutinative, mathematical language with harmony rules.
It's in Eurasia just like Russia 🙂
if they dont tell me they come from turkiye.. I would assume they are European from the looks..
Interesting you say that considering to me Turkish people don't look any different from the surrounding people around them like the Arabs or Persians. Or Armenians to me.
We are diverse. I saw many european looking ones who wouldnt stand out in Europe.@@MrAintGotNoBitches
@@darklight8549 You can say that for all the other ethnic groups in the region. I've seen Arabs that look no different from Europeans Or also Persians. As well that look european
@@MrAintGotNoBitches You cannot compare an Arab with a Turk. In my opinion, Arabs are generally darker and have different facial structures than Turks.
I think Turkiye in Eurasia
Asia. Only a very small part of the country is in Europe. The majority of the country is in Asia.
@@abc98114 but geography cant tell reality all the time, look at the west side of turkey, look at the greece east shore and look the oppsite of this shore. There is agean sea and agean culture and also Turkeys west side shore. So this place include in asia technically but in reality its have southern European culture like greece. Or same cities in other parts of have so many ethnically European people who migrated to turkey like a century ago. So at that point calling Turkey mixed is best
Eurasia for sure. Central Asian + European + Caucasian + Balkan + Middle eastern
It is better to call it Eurasia
its both.
Do majority of them have Asian, Chinese for example, ancestry?
Real turk is from central asia. So if u talking about the original turks, they are asian. If u are talking about geographically, i would say both.
yes they look like those from kazakstan and turkmenistan basically they are mix breed from central asian, middle east asian, european so they are EURASIAN
@@asianprince8718 Ancestary has little to do with this...
This is nonsense.
Europe and Asia are one land mass, one "Continent".
Don't they have islands?
True asian continent and europe are connected. I think those racist trying to divide us because they think white are superior.
to be honest its more nuanced: its Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Near East, South Asia, Central Asia/Siberia and East Asia
You are right. The differences are gradual from east to west.
@@VedJoshi.. Also South East Asia
If Turkey is Asia bcos main part of it is considered in the Asian continent, then what abt Russia? Isn't the bulk of Russia in Asia? Or is it bcos Russians are considered as whites hence part of Europe whereas the Turks are considered mainly middle eastern and hence consideted as Asian? And what abt Israel? And is Eygpt considered African or middle east?
Russia is a people originally from Europe that began the conquest of Siberia (its Asian part) from Europe a Viking founded the first great Russian state, culturally, ethnically they are more European and most of their population lives in the European part. Russia is 40% of the entire territory of Europe
I love this country and their language.
When i geared for first time i fell in love.For me is musical and nice sounding.
I dont see any problem they are a mix of two cultural traits in the two continentes.
I value like a very positive thing,It gives more "personality" and enriching cultural image.
Sorry for my bad english,im not native obviously.☺️.
Selamlar.
Thank you
a Turk critical thinker wants to say Asia, but their mind be like "Should I really answer this question? you know I don't even care, these all continents was coming from human's idea"
Ofc Asia, bc Turkiye's %3 in Europe %97 Asia.
Mainly some Turkish people are more European while some more asian
Turkish people are middle eastern

Well two girls in this video show the differences in Turkish. The first girl looks like European but the last girl seems more like from the Middle East
Yes you right. As a turkish,I think that turkish nation is mixture of different races.
Because the land of Turkey was bridge for many nations in the history and finally they mixed each other
In the video, the second girl later on explained that she was from Azerbaijan, not Turkey.
people think diffrent Turkish phenotypes means they are mixed but not Turkish people descant from diffrent Turkic tribes and this diffrent Turkic tribes looked diffrently
example:there is many blonde Turk in eastern black sea region its because they are descant from Çepni tribe and in Çepni tribe blonde Turks existed
@@DoofyGilmore1299 Is there any possibility that blonde Turks from the west Turkey have European ancestry like Greek?
they know their geography 👍🏻
I think Turkey is something else more like a bridge between continents and cultures, not one or the other. I love Turkey 🇹🇷
Türkiye: i dont give a fck
To be fair, Poland is in Central Europe, and thus has the same problem of belonging - Western or Eastern Europe?
Amazing how easy people are fooled into categorizing either/or. Turkey is located partly in both Europe and Asia - that's not an "i feel like"; that's a fact of geography. The culture is unique and includes being part of the Middle East but not the Arab world despite belonging to the Muslim faith.
Source: am not an NPC
Middle East is still Asia.
The separation is more cultural and that is why Turkey is Asia and not Europe
@@zephdo2971 Exactly wrong. The Middle East is a geopolitical region and not a geographical one. It includes all of Turkey, which is partly in Europe, and Egypt which is in Africa.
Therefore, Middle East is not Asia.
The Middle East is where the Abrahamic religions originated and that makes the region culturally similar to Europe, the US and Eastern Europe including Russia.
@@BWGPTTurkey is not "middle eastern" thank you.
@@darklight8549 The Middle East (term originally coined in English [see § Terminology][note 1]) is a geopolitical region encompassing the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq.
From "Middle East" on Wikipedia. You might want to edit that page to update it with your superior knowledge.
Speaking of superiority, you're welcome.
If Cypus is apart of Europe, Then I would think Turkey (Who's right above it) would be Europe. But bc they're Muslim, They prefer Asia.
bruh Europe and Asia are the same continent their not even separated by an sea or an ocean
The separation is more cultural and that is why Turkey is Asia and not Europe
We are European (Balkanic), genetically and culturally and you cannot count Anatolia in Asia (you should not). Therefore geographically European too. Problem's solved!
They just expanded into Europe, it's Asian
Not how it works
@@aronia210 yeah it is Asian
no. we shrank into asia. Balkan is a turkish word and it was populated with turkish back then.
@@mremw7187 duh if ur a turk, ur ancestors are so disappointed. They are from Central Asia dude, I have Turkish blood, but yeah ofc I don't see myself as a turk. The Balkans were under Raman Empire, it was European Christians. Then after the Muslim Arabs tried to break in, and the Turks came, but still manage to stay near Europe and the most populated Turkic country... And the most polluted ofc...
@@mremw7187 the word "shrank" doesn't mean like this. Plus I'll say Turkey is my most hated Turkic country, my fav is Kazakhstan. I'll say a bit abt the Turkic story. The first group of Turks were found in modern central China. It's called proto-turkic. Later in the 1100s - 1300s they've started migration over the Asian continent. Bc of the large mongol Empire, letting many others migrating to somewhere else. 4 sub groups of Turks migrated near Europe. In Anatolia, Caucasus, and Siberia.
Eurasia
Turkey is the oven😂
Turkey belongs to the Sims world, Turkish language sounds Simian, especially demonstrated by the last woman at the end of the video.
The woman is not from Turkey, she is from Azerbaijan (she said that later on the video)
Haha funny 😊😊
everyone in turkey are turkish but they come from diffrent ethnic group. turkey just a diverse country same as america, maybe u dont meet with afro turk before, but they exist, what u expect country with almost 100 million population with the local citizens + immigrant + refugee.
there is no way Turkiye is diverse as USA non kurds and Turks only make up 10% of the population
Usually mixed nations have beautiful people...
Aight if you want to be Asian, it's either Rice or Family orientedness.
Asia minor or middle eastern would be the correct way to say it. I think Greece is culturally middle eastern as Turkey
I think thailand, south korea, japan and philippines will become like that in the future.
Race mixing between the westerner and south east asian in the philippines and thailand then lots of white european migrating in japan and south korea while japanese and south korean birth rate is low.
That could make new zealand and australia no longer alone anymore in the pacific with a population of majority of white caucasian
If my prediction is correct i hope i will become a philosopher.
Australia is 80% is caucasian and new zealand is 72%
You forgot Indonesia. Indonesia is definitely a transcontinental country, as opposed to Korea and Japan and Philippines.
Both continents gives Turkey *POWER*

Easy answer: it’s in Eurasia.
“How many continents are there?” is not a question with an objective, non-political answer. Although an argument could be made to group them according to plate tectonics, in practice various countries teach kids either that the Americas are one, two, or three continents, that Eurasia is one continent or two, that Greenland and Antarctica are this or that … the only universal point of agreement seems to be that Australia is its own thing, although it can also be named Meganesia, Papualand.
Other fun trivia: Turkey has three alphabets, once adopted a 17-hour day, and their national flag is the spotted woodland turkey, making them one of only two countries to recognize a bird as a flag.

Europe don't have anything to show why they are a continent, except their Massive Ego
Every point Europe shown for people to think that they are a continent, by default makes India more allegeable to be a continent
Indian subcontinent 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I mean yeah most of these things are arbitrary, just like borders. continents are very much a geological term with a true definition (like the person above me pointed out, India is a subcontinent!) but why we feel kinship with each other and keep others out based on continents is arbitrary. speaking as a European lol, culturally there is as much difference between me and a Greek as between me and a Somalian - which is beautiful, no?
why do people dont ask is russia europe or asia?their geo also same as turkey more to asia!
Russia began as a European country and only in the 16th century expanded into Asia and 80% of the population lives in the European part. Türkiye, on the contrary, began with Central Asia. It's the same think as saying colonial France is an African country.
@@gokhanylmaz8514 Turkiye is began from Edirne thats europe part. Lol
@@gokhanylmaz8514 well there is a fact that Russians are mixed with Asians as well and weren't perse considered as a civilized European state either based on their identity and still has a different mentality than the European mindset.
The Turks came from central Asia and conquered many territories skipping a couple of them migrating to the west they started mixing with the Indo-Europeans. First to Persia and then towards the Greeks and with this they got more of a Mediterranean look.
The Ottomans were more keen with the Greek/Persian civilisations as well and married with Greek/Polish/Ukrainian etc.. princesses and saw themselves as the follow up of the Romans even Mehmed the 2nd claimed to be of Roman blood because of his mother being Roman.
So it's not what you think there is also an misconception that religion plays a part of being European or not considering the Balkans even tho being in the uncivilized regions of Europe as they say.
But the Greeks and Etruscans themselves are more of a eastern civilisation because they had nothing to do with vikings, germanic, Anglo-Saxon, Franks, slavic peoples... so as to say I feel "Asian" is also more of a superiority complex thing if we look at it like this.
@@Lawliet_____but show me a pure non-mixed nation, you won’t show it.The first space explorers were not civilized? you are talking complete nonsense. Do you think these criteria make people from one group or another? I myself am from the European part of Istanbul, and we are not Europeans, Turkey is not Istanbul. Many here want to be like Europeans but that doesn't change the fact where we come from.
@@gokhanylmaz8514 Being "European" does not mean to be German or Polish it's the mindset of it. And yes there is one namely Japan.
Yes, Japan isn't European but it was since their restoration an example to follow for many others like the Ottoman Young Turks wanted to follow but we could also find one example to mention as the nationalist Germans saw the Kemalists as their example (Source: Atatürk in the Nazi Imagination).
Is Greece an European nation compared to Germany even tho having no resemblance of their past?
So I beg to differ and give you another perspective of things.
I would jump on any chance to collect a small force of Inquisition/Imperial weirdos. That Crusader (from one of the OOP Blackstone Fortress expansions fyi) haunts me, I want him so bad.
Eastern Turks are ethnically and culturally more Asian, and Western Turks are ethnically and culturally more European. DNA results prove it, our lifestyles prove it. I'm from Eastern Thrace, and I'm of Balkan origin. No way I'm considering myself an Asian.
As a Eastern Turk( Kurd) we are proud to be Middle Easterners🙏
@@bratwurststattsucuk4517 Oh, yeah, Kurds are hundred percent Middle Eastern, so are the Arabs, but ethnic Turks are from further North. They're neither culturally, nor ethnically Middle Easterns. Turk and Turkish are two different things. We just don't have such equivalent term to tell them apart in Turkish language. Etnik Türk olmak var, Türk vatandaşı olmak var. Ulusumuzda binbir milletten insan var. Türkiye şudur, budur diyemiyoruz. Kültürel bağlamda da, etnik bağlamda da.
@@MIKRASIATISSA I am not speaking about the Turks on the Agaean Coast but the Turks in Sivas or Yozgat look middle eastern those more in the west look more greek
@@bratwurststattsucuk4517 Yeah, but for Eastern Turks, I could easily say they must have had intermarriages with the local Kurds, or Arabs. When people say "I'm Turk", they mean they're offsprings of those Asiatic post-nomads. Those Yozgat men's ancestors perhaps had intermixed with locals, or basically they're Turkified Kurds, Arabs, or Persians. Bacause, those nomad Turkic tribes would have different phenotypes, and would in no way look like Middle Easterns. Anyway, my point is, 🇹🇷 citizens can be of any ethnic origin. It's at the crossroads of three continents, after all. I also know for a fact, noone of our ancestors had pure blood. They intermixed. So, you never know. That's why we all look so different from one another. We come in all shades and shapes.
@Sami DNA results of Turkish people say otherwise.
3% of Turkey is in Europe. Religion mentality is different. Even many decades after Ataturk Turkey's Democracy is gone and they are going full Islamist. I don't even know why they talked about EU. NATO? Why? Not the same values. Experiment gone very very wrong!
Very wrong take... All the mosques are empty noone is that religious in Turkey and judging Turkey from temporary political situation is a huge mistake. Before erdogan it was forbidden in Turkey to enter state building with hijab... I am talking about 20 year ago
@@jackholler3572 well exactly.....my point the hijab thing. They are going backwards. They betrayed Ataturk who was a turk from Greece. He wanted to modernize. He was an naive idealist. Decades later they put on hijab and whent full islamist. Democracy gone! They are moonwalking!! Erdogan is popular he is Islamist so what u say is false. Don't be naive. Everything they do is plane wrong. Bombing civilians in Irak, Syria. Seaching for natural resources on others territory. Provoking at the borders. Using human refugees as weapons. Buying ISIS oil. War in Armenia. Helping Russia bypass sanctions. Not even puttning sanctions on Russia. Copying laws from Mussolinis Italy and trying to bring European journalists to court with them. Throwing their own journalists in jail. Article 64 treaty of sevre. Not freeing Kurdistan. Buying Russian rockens against NATO's will. Neo ottomanism, imperialism. Wanting to join Shanghai Cooperation......I don't have any more time now but hope u get the point. Just plane wrong.
@@a.p1675 Wowowowo. Hold on here. First all the things you say is wrong. What Turkey claims are interationally legal. You cant just assume if the opposite is the right thing.

Creatinga perception of attacking civillians is a propaganda. It would exactly what Atatürk did protecting borders from genociders(greeks and armenians) and colonists(uk france italy). This propaganda gone too far. Atatürks vision is unbreakable and inevitable. No matter how hard people trys. Your dark agenda will not be realised not with erdogan or anyone else.

It sounds like randome words to you because you don't speak that language lol
@@zera_61 Nah, there are lots of languages I don't speak. Turkish is the only one that sounds like this to me 😛
@@Spacemongerr may I ask why? But I can take a guess. Turkish is language full of suffixes. So instead of words we use suffixes (some letters) at the end of that word to give it more meaning. Example: "yakalayabileceklerimizdenmisinz?" (It's really a real word lol. But we don't really use it. I just made it up. Yes we can create new creative words lol.)
Translated:
"You are one of those we can catch" (See? Noone says that :) )
Anyway as you can see, a word is a sentence. We just added suffixes behind the word to give it more meaning. The language is agluenative like finnish,korean and japanese and other turkic languages. But that doesn't mean that every turkish word is that long. I, on purpose chose a long word. The longest known word in turkish has 70 letters
@@zera_61 I am not quite sure, but it might have to do with the variety of weird (to me) sounds. And the seemingly random and frequent shifting between them.
Southeast asian languages also sound weird to me - like they are have a super fat tongue or a potato deep in their throat - but they consistently sound like that, they don't suddenly introduce completely different sounds.
I do not think it has to do with some words being long - my language has many compound words, similar to German, so long words are not unusal to me. And since I don't understand any Turkish (except for international words), I mostly cannot tell when a word ends and another begins anyway :)
@@Spacemongerr what I ment with words being long is that you might think that it sounds weird because we have a lot's of letters standing next to eachother creating that "weird sound". Turk doesn't sound weird to be tho. It's a very musical language that can fit any type of conversation. In my opinion east asian languages are cool. South asian languages sound the weirdest to me. And I can speak german, let me tell you this: german words are nowhere can be long as turkish words. Only one word in turkish equals a whole sentence in german. It may not be the case everytime but it's quite common
"Middle East"
in middle east asia.
Middle of where? Middle to who?
Is Asia lol
So Russia is then "Asia"
Most of Turkey is in asia. Turks are culturally and geographically Middle-Eastern.
Julia, do you mean you think Turkey is officially an Asian country while it is culturally different from that?
We are culturally Turkic, and geographically Anatolian. "Mid-East" is a term coined by brits to denote "Ottoman *colonies* lying eastward to their core in Anatolia" in late 19th century. So in your logic, UK is an American country.
@@asianprince8718How could you be diffrent?
I can Understand that you guys like to world call you Europeans and you use its point..
but you should accept this fact that Turkey is mostly asian
are you ignorant? culture of Turkish peoples is not similar to the culture of the middle east (maybe if you tell the kurds living in turkey, it might be)
Wrong ,Turks migrated to Anatolia from Central Asia. We are Middles Eastern as much as we are Europeans honey.
If we talk about land, Turkey is a bridge between Asia and Europe and if we talk about people, they are internally more inclined to Asia but they pretend to be the Europeans (Not All but a considerable number of People living in developed cities)
Europeans will never consider them European, Turks are seen as Asian
They were never Europeans, like Azerbaijani Turks too
@@TheBlackzmanTurks are eurasian
The people always have been eurasian. They were literally known as sick man of europe and mixed with greeks when they came from central asia
Is the most extreme part of Asia also if in my opinion the right name would be Middle East (from Turkey to the Emirates more or less)
Absolutely not. Call it both or not call it any at all. Turkey feels more european than middle east and more asian than europe
Turkey is too large to classify into something single. Black sea region have absolutely nothing to do with middle east. Agean region have nothing in common with iran. South east region is very identical with iran, middle east. İn short Turkey is not homogenous country
@@sktt1488 One of the most well thought-out comments out here. Exactly what I was thinking of. Putting every different culture in Turkey into the same bucket is exactly like saying Africans from the continent and Afro-Americans share the same traditions, values, and problems. Because no.
