Türkiye, or officially the Republic of Türkiye, is a country with most of its territory in Anatolia and a small part in Thrace, the southeastern extension of the Balkan Peninsula. It is bordered by Bulgaria in the northwest, Greece in the west, Georgia in the northeast, Armenia, Iran and Azerbaijan in the east, Nakhchivan, and Iraq and Syria in the southeast. It is surrounded by the island of Cyprus and the Mediterranean in the south, the Aegean Sea in the west and the Black Sea in the north. The Sea of Marmara, along with the Turkish Straits, separates Anatolia from Thrace, that is, Asia from Europe. Türkiye has an important geostrategic power as it is located at the crossroads of the European and Asian continents.

It became an associate member of the European Economic Community in 1963, joined the EU Customs Union in 1995 and started negotiations for full membership to the European Union in 2005. The country is also a member of organizations such as the Organization of Turkic States, the International Organization of Turkic Culture, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Economic Cooperation Organization.
