TURKEY

Location: Turkey's geographical location has made it the land bridge between Europe and Asia (3% of Turkey lies in Europe; the other 97% (Anatolia) lies in Asia).; the resultant ethnic mix has produced blond-haired, blue-eyed Turks, red-haired green-eyed Turks, brown-haired hazel-eyed Turks, and black-haired brown-eyed Turks. What makes a Turk a Turk is his choice of Turkish as his primary language.Turkey is bordered on three sides by water: on the north by the Black Sea, on the west by the Aegean Sea, and on the south by the Mediterranean Sea. 20.2 million hectares of land in Turkey is covered by forest.
