Turkey European or Middle Eastern?

[Musso]

Turkey belongs to the Middle East! The very small geographic European part of Turkey should be re-taken by Bulgaria or any other neighbouring nation.

It's more probably that Turks take over Germany than Bulgaria or Greece takes over some part of Turkey. Already in Germany it feels very Turkish, it seems the national dish has become döner kebab.

HISTORY, CULTURE, RELIGION
Turkey’s historic and cultural roots lay in Central Asia and the Middle East. It missed the shared experiences that bind Europeans together, from the cultural legacy of Renaissance and Enlightenment, to the horrors of the Second WWII which galvanized the drive for united Europe. As an overwhelmingly Muslim nation, Turkey’s cultural traditions are fundamentally different from that of Christian Europe. Turkey’s historical interaction with Europe has always been as an outside invader. Cyprus is an insurmountable obstacle.

Ninety-seven percent of its territory lies in Asia. The EU does not need shared borders with Syria, Iran and Iraq. Turkey is too big for the EU to absorb. Politically Turkey is not a mature European-style democracy. Its politics are a tussle between an overbearing military and Islamists of varying hues. Human rights are routinely abused. Dozens of journalists languish in jail. Amnesty International’s annual report is filled with accounts of torture, free speech violations, denial of minority rights, unfair trials, failure to protect women. Europe would import the intractable Kurdish issue.

Despite it recent growth, Turkey remains an underdeveloped economy. Turkey’s wealth is unequally spread, meaning that an army of poor immigrants would head west, joining the estimated 9 million Turks already living in the EU.

Turkey is geographically in the Middle East.

Middle eastern in my opinion. Seems to be the main view here as well.
