Turkey is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia and Thrace in the Balkan region of Southeastern Europe. The country is enclosed by three sees: Mediterranean Sea to the south, the Aegean Sea to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. Turkey, being a full member of EU since 2005, still maintains close cultural, political, economic and industrial relations with the Eastern world, particularly with the states of the Middle East and Central Asia, through membership in organizations such as the OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference) and ECO (Economic Cooperation Organization). Turkey is a founding member of the OECD and the G-20 major economies. Meanwhile, Turkey is classified as a developed country by the CIA and as a regional power by political scientists and economists worldwide.
