Either both must be in Asia or if Cyprus is Europe then Turkey definetly must be in Europe. Most appropriate way would be to list Turkey, Greece, Russia ang Kazakstan in both continents.
@ilhanyumer commented on GitHub (Sep 14, 2016):
...in your web site.
@lipis commented on GitHub (Sep 15, 2016):
While you might be right about Cyprus.. Geographically speaking most part of Turkey is in Asia (97%) and same for Russia..
Now since when Greece belongs to Asia or Kazakhstan to Europe.. that's something that I can't really comment or answer.. check the map again :)
I was about to update the website with some changes.. could add multiple continents for some countries..
@ilhanyumer commented on GitHub (Sep 15, 2016):
Around 10% of Kazakhstan is located in Europe. http://kazakhworld.com/kazakhstans-biggest-question-europe-or-asia/
Interestingly something like 15% of population of Turkey is in Europe. And heart quarters of biggest Turkish companies are mostly (like more than half of them) are located in European side of Istanbul. And almost all national TV channels are located in European side too. Likewise rich people prefer to live in European side. I would like to say that half of the mind power is in European side. Just sayin, not to argue. I mean, on what should be based on; land area (then once UK was not a European) or population, may be capital city. Nevermind.

@lipis
The European Union is a Politico-economic association and has the purpose to be a federal republic in the next decade.
Greece is part of the UE => Europe
Turkey is not part of the UE => Asia
Russia is not part of the UE => Asia
Kazakhstan is not part of the UE => Asia
Cyprus is part of the UE => Europe
Could we close this issue?

@HLFH
So you mean that if someone moves to French Guiana, which is in South America, he should look in the list of Europe? Because it is part of EU.
And if you move to Lichtenstein you should not look at the list of Europe?
Asia is a continent, Africa is a continent, South America is a continent, North America is a continent, and Europe is a continent. European Union is not a continent.
What does UE mean?
Lichtenstein is not part of UE => Asia?
@ddinchev commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2017):
@ilhanyumer by any sources I could find Cyprus is being considered to be in Europe, I don't know what role their EU membership plays. In all honesty - tectonically Asia and Europe stay on the same plates and the separation is entirely product of how people have drawn lines at some point in history. IMHO, Turkey should be listed under both Europe and Asia, to help people find it easier. And this issue should be closed before it gets into a bigger argument.
@HLFH commented on GitHub (Mar 20, 2017):
If we conqueer Turkey, it will be part of Europe. We lost it in 1453. We have to take it back to make @ilhanyumer happy.
