    For me, Turkey is the northwest most zone of Asia.

    It's funny how Caucasus is called "Northwest Asia" even though it's about 2500-3000 km further south than the northwestern point of North Asia.

    In the map below, using definition B, the northernmost part of the border between Asia and Europe on the Eurasian continent is slightly east of Ust-Kara, which is a settlement at the mouth of River Kara. River Kara delineates the border between Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Therefore a tiny part of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug may actually be considered to be part of Europe.

    Red line "A" was commonly accepted in Russia and Kazakhstan during the Soviet Union era. The commonly accepted modern definition mostly fits with the lines "B" and "F" in this image.

    A map of possible definitions of the boundary between Europe and Asia. Note that most of these lines are not referenced to any sources proposing them. The red line marked "A" is apparently the "Strahlenberg" definition commononly taught in Soviet-era Russia. See File:Historical Europe-Asia boundaries 1700 to 1900.png for a map which is actually based on references. The modern mainstream definition used by the UN (see also this) are marked "B" (Urals and Ural River) and "F" (Caucasus watershed). Lines C, D, E, G, H, I and J are currently without reference. Red line - "Strahlenberg" border, allegedly also used by the International Geographical Union [1] A: Ural Mountains-Emba River and Kuma Manych Depression (at Rivers Kuma, Manych and lower Don) Orange lines - other variants of border: B: Ural Mountains-Ural River (modern mainstream definition) C: Yugorsky Strait Cape–Pay Khoy Mountains–Ural Mountains-Ural River D: Ural Mountains-Kazakhstan Border E: northern foothills of Caucasus F: Lines on the Great Caucasus watershed (modern mainstream definition) G: southern foothills of Caucasus H: Meso-Caucasus at Rivers Rioni and Kura I: Lines on the Lesser Caucasus and Rivers Araks and Kura J: former Soviet Union border.
