Is that right? I'm not sure. Geographically there is a small part of Turkey west of the Bosphorus that is part of the European continent. As Ila says, the vast proportion of Turkey is on the Asian continent. Politically Turkey has for many years wanted to join the EU (European Union) but some countries are opposed to this and it doesn't look likely in the near future. Turkey does of course play in the European football championship; as does Israel because no other countries near them want to play with them!
