Turkey
Turkey (; ), officially the
Republic of Turkey (Turkish: ), is a
parliamentary republic in
Eurasia, largely located in
Western Asia, with the smaller portion of
Eastern Thrace in
Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries:
Syria and
Iraq to the south;
Iran,
Armenia, and the
Azerbaijani exclave of
Nakhchivan to the east;
Georgia to the northeast;
Bulgaria to the northwest; and
Greece to the west. The
Black Sea is to the north, the
Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the
Aegean Sea to the west. The
Bosphorus, the
Sea of Marmara, and the
Dardanelles (which together form the
Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between
Thrace and
Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia. Turkey's location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia makes it a country of significant geostrategic importance.
