Is it shameful to say that you are a European country when you are clearly located in Asia?

As we all know, there are seven countries in the world today, namely Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica. These seven continents divide the earth's land into seven plates, and some countries span two continents because of their vast territory.

Take Russia for example, most of its territory is in Asia and a small part is in Europe. However, this country has always been a European country and also believes in the Orthodox Church, and its population is mainly distributed in Europe. So people also agree that Russia is a European country.

But some countries claim to be European countries, even though their territories are all in Asia! This makes netizens ridicule: Are you ashamed of being in Asia? Let's see which five countries!

One: Georgia

Georgia is located in the Caucasus Mountains in southwest Asia, bordering Russia in the north and Turkey in the south. Countries such as Armenia are bordered. Although Georgia is located in Asia, cultural exchanges with European countries are more frequent, among which sports have directly joined UEFA.

The land area of this country is not large, even less than that of Zhejiang in China! It is one of the countries that the former Soviet Union joined. Can Georgia be said to be a part of Europe in Asia? Enclave? .

II: Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan, which is very similar to Georgia, is also located in Asia, in the southeast of the Transcaucasian Mountains. It is a landlocked country with no seaport and an area of only 86,600 square kilometers. They also claimed to be Europeans, and even held the first European Games! It is worth mentioning that this country is rich in oil and focuses on developing the oil industry.

Three: Armenia

Armenia, located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, is a landlocked country with an area of less than 30,000 ordinary kilometers. It was once a member of the former Soviet Union and a part of the Ottoman Empire. In this way, the history and culture of this country will be more biased towards Europe and believe in Christianity. So this country has long wanted to join the European Union.

Four: Cyprus

Cyprus is a Mediterranean island country close to Asia, with an area of only 925 1 square kilometer, which belongs to Asia geographically. But he is a veritable European country, because he is now a member of the European Union. It is worth mentioning that Cyprus has very beautiful natural scenery, which attracts many Europeans to immigrate to the country.

V: Israel

Israel, located in the eastern Mediterranean, is the birthplace of Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Speaking of this country, many people will think it is a European country because it has joined the European Football Association. But what makes many netizens vomit is: stop calling yourself a European country. If there is anything good about Asia, just admit that you are an Asian identity. For example, AIIB is just like this!

What do you think of these five countries?
