Turkey - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

Turkey, a transcontinental country, is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The vast majority of the country lies on the Anatolian Peninsula (Asia Minor), a large, mountainous plateau bordered by seas on three sides: the Black Sea to the north, the Aegean Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The smaller portion of Turkey, Thrace, is situated in southeastern Europe, separated from the rest of the country by the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. This strategic location has historically made Turkey a bridge between continents, influencing its diverse culture and geopolitical significance.
