Is turkey considered part of Europe?

Asking as an American so I understand this.

Edit: thank you everybody that replied and my question is asked incorrectly. I meant if it was part of the EU.

Yes, the European part of the country is part of Europe and the rest of the country is in Asia. Source: I listened in middle school.

I see.

Can you provide a link to your middle school source?

My partner just told me a more interesting question and probably your intent was to ask: is Turkey in the European Union? And no, it is not however Turkey has many ties to Europe especially in defense. Much of the EU is part of NATO and many Europe adjacent countries are also party to the treaty. This includes Turkey.

Turkey is also split between Europe and Asia. Most of the country is in Asia. But the country is split in Istanbul by the Bosporus Strait. The European part of Turkey is on the North side of the strait. This gives Turkey a land border with Greece and Bulgaria.

Also, in the past, the Ottoman empire was pretty damn expensive pushing much further North and containing much of what we call Eastern Europe. Modern Czechia, Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Ukraine form the border for the lands claimed by the Ottomans.
