Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije dÊ’umˈhuːɾijeti] (listen)), is a transcontinental country located mainly on the Anatolian Peninsula in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeastern Europe.

Russia is transcontinental as well with more of it in Asia but still grouped with Europe, Turkey is grouped with Europe hence why they're part of the EUCU and EEC.

But unlike Turkey, Russia has both the vast majority of their inhabitants and their capital in Europe. For Turkey, only 4% live on the European part and the capital Ankara is in Asia. This is why Russia is generally considered European but Turkey isn't.

Again Turkey engages with Europe when it come to economy and politics so like it or not it's in Europe until things change that is why the nation is allowed to engage in EU specific issues the capital (which countries can change anyway look at Nigeria) and population can be located on Mars for all we care it doesn't change this they're within the European region and chose that as their preferred identification.
