More than 90% of Turkey's landmass lies in Asia. Only half of Istanbul lies in Europe. Russia lies for 66% in Asia. Just because a country participates in European contests doesn't mean they are European. Or are countries as Azerbeidzjan, Kazachstan and Israël suddenly European too.

Turkey are more disputable, but I still consider them culturally European.

Russia however are definitely European. For much of their history Russia was entirely within Europe, and even now that Siberia is part of Russia too the main parts of it are all still in Europe. The vast majority of Russia's population and wealth is in the European part of it. The vast majority of people in Russia are Slavic (a European ethnicity). The Russian language is a European language and uses a European writing system, They may have more land in Asia than Europe, but the suggestion that Russia is more Asian than European is just wrong.

Edit: Also worth mentioning that like Russia the majority of Denmark's territory isn't in Europe (Greenland is in North America), yet I don't see anyone saying they're not a European country...

They are not a European country they belong to North America and aren't they independent by now. The Dutch Antilles aren't a part of Europe either. Nor any of the (former) British colonies which still acknowledge the Queen of England as their queen for some reason.
