Comment on Well it started as a cult too ...

Georgians and Armenians tend to identify more with Europe than Asia. They’re right on the “boundary”, as much as there is one, but most that I’ve spoken to are adamant that Georgia and Armenia are European. ( Of course, that doesn’t change the actual premise of the meme)
good luck to them.

If Turkey got considered, why not them, right?
I mean… I’m turkish and I don’t fully agree or identify turkey itself as 100% european. No, not because of “ThE eUrOpEaN pArT oF iStAnBuL”, but because of the way our country and citizens behave. Countries further east have no hope.
Also, because of a theme I’ve mentioned several times : they’re claiming to be european for clout. If you’re trying to put yourself in the better clout group, and it’s doubtable, you should be trying to make the other group’s clout better instead of trying to jam yourself in where you are not fully represented.
