From the Western half of Istanbul to its border with Bulgaria and Greece, it is.

Part of Asia

Again, a huge NO! Only 3%, insignificant part. Even Kazakhstan is more European country than Turkey, cus Kazakhstan has 10% of its lands in Europe

Even Thrace is just geographically European. If you enter Turkey you clearly feel the difference, the vibes from another culture. It is a very nice country, but never was and never will be European.

Geographically it has a part of European soil. Culturally it is Asian, more specifically Middle Eastern/Near East/West Asian.

Culturally it's closer to Greece/Balkans/Italy. From an ethnogenesis perspective it is more related to Turkmenistan and Iran, to a lesser extent Transcaucasian countries.
