Turkey is on the border of Europe and the middle east, but I gather it's still normally classified as Middle Eastern.

As for PMs, you have to gain a posting record before that opens up.

You consider  Turkey  geographically. But Turkey is  on the edge of Europian Unian memebership. Even  Turkey'sports  teams  compete in Eurpean cups..
And  sorry  but  what is positng record???

Hi Gurden,

Our criteria for defining countries through regions is based on Global definition.

Let me help you through two authentic sources that define Turkey in Middle East.

World Atlas: http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/me.htm
Encyclopedia: http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Middle_East.aspx

I hope this will put the discussion to rest.
Thank you

I have to agree with the above, even if the country is trying to join the Euroclub.
