Psst, Turkey isn't in Europe. Better double check this one  I didn't need to double check, but just for you... Also: About 3% of Turkey's landmass is in Europe, while the majority of the country is in Asia: Region Area Europe 23,764 sq km (9,174 sq mi) Asia 755,688 sq km (291,773 sq mi) 3% is a negligible amount AND turkey isn't in the EU, so this not European. |

That Devyn slide sure is purty. And another. Apparently when we mention a player in a match thread that they have been quiet thus far in the season, it works. See Robinson, Devyn and CC on the last match thread. |

I will join the game.
I always consider Turkey a European country because they're in the European sub region of the World Cup. And the World Cup is a big deal.

Similarly, Turkey plays in the CEV confederation. So for any volleyball purposes, they are European. This is the right answer in any conversation related to GG - or any other Turkish vball player. They consider themselves to play in Europe. |
