Republic of Turkey (Turkiye Cumhuriyeti) is a Eurasian country located in Asia (mostly Anatolian peninsula) and in East Thrace in the Southeastern Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northeast; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus are to the south; the Aegean Sea is to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. The Sea of Marmara, Bosporus and the Dardanelles demarcate the boundary between East Thrace and Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia.
