Where is the borderline of Europe and Asia in Caucasus

[user_]

So finally, lets make clear,where is the border of Europe and Asia.
Geographically we know, this is Caucasus mounts.

1. If we put borderline on Caucasus mount range

then we get Georgia in Asia, and Dagestan in Europe, which is quite funny, let alone religion, or culture, Georgian landscape and appearance is is much more European (what most people think Europe is) than Europe itself, while Dagestan has central Asian vibe.

Makhachkala-capital of European Dagestan





Tbilisi- capital of Georgia in Asia.







2. This border for me is the most true. Putting borderline between East and West.
We get Western and Central slopes of Caucasus facing Black Sea in Europe, and East Caucasus slopes facing Caspian Sea in Asia. Landscape, people, culture in West is more Euro, East is more Central Asian.



3. Third choice. Europe and Asia is one continent, borderline is culture and politic. So Georgia is Europe, muslim populated regions of Caucasus is Asia.

IMO, the black line on the map below is a more logical eastern border for Europe. It is the pattern of the coastlines that defines Europe.

Left or right? I see two.

Left, the black one The red is the most agreed upon border but I don't think the Ural mountains are impressive enough to be a cut-off line. And that would also make Khazakstan partly European.

Ah, maybe I'm colorblind. They both look black to me. That would cut out a lot of Russians, but I don't have a strong opinion on the matter. I definitely don't consider Kazakhs European.

If the Russians living east of that line gentically cluster with the western ones, then they European. But if not, then I think we have to call them Eurasian. That land between the two lines I would call Eurasia.

Thumbs down for leaving half the Aegean islands out.

The borderline of Europe is just before Georgia

Sorry, but they are closer to the Turkish landmass.

And Sicily is closer to Africa but that doesn't make it African.
