well, I thought Ireland was part of Europe.

You are right, but Turkey is not.

Isn't it?


No, it isn't. Without looking up the exact areas, I estimate that part of
Turkey in Europe at about 3%. That does not make it European. Spain has
five small exclaves in Africa, but that does not make it African.

"Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye), known officially as the Republic of Turkey
(Türkiye Cumhuriyeti (help·info)), is a Eurasian country that stretches
across the Anatolian peninsula in southwest Asia and the Balkan region of
southeastern Europe."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey

Eurasia is an immense landmass covering about 53,990,000 km² (or about
10.6%) of the Earth's surface. Often reckoned as a single continent,
Eurasia comprises the traditional continents of Europe and Asia, concepts
which date back to classical antiquity and the borders for which are
somewhat arbitrary.
