Istanbul------Asia or Europe?

<< < (2/2)

EHM-1651 Christian:
Well since Ankara the capitol of Turkey is a part of the European tour and by completing the Eurpean tour give you the Cobalt award I assume that turkey is recogniced as a part of europe as they want to be...

EHM-1328 Willem:
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, and the most important city . It is located on the Bosphorus,
The west side is european and east side is asian,

Ankara is on asian side and actual its  not a capitol city off europe, but its on the EHM tours A-110, so  for the award its counts.

And politcal Turkey isn't part off europe, in 2004 started opening of accession talks between Turkey and EU.

Willem, EHM1328

EHM-1539 Pierre:
Geographically speaking (and historically speaking too) Istanbul is half european, half asian :) you can't tell which it is.
