Let's stop all the discussions over european map. This is a real Europe. This map shows us all the european countries and no matter if some of us don't want to accept this map or some who don't consider this map as a right choice but it is a map of today's Europe.
Some countries - Russia,Azerbaijan,Turkey,Georgia and Kazakhstan(which is not considered Europe because has no cultural and historicalk links to Europe) have definite territories in Europe. If you see at the map more carefully then you will see that these countries (Russia,Azerbaijan,Georgia and Kazakhstan) have territories marked as orange and some part of Turkey(East Frakia) is marked as green because those territories are in Europe without any dispute. Other parts of these countries are light pink and it means that they situated in Asia too( but culturally and historically they are definitely european, except Kazakhstan).
As for Armenia and Cyprus, they have different colours - dark pink. It means these countries don't have any territories in Europe. Geographically they are asian. But culturally and historically they are considered as a parts of Europe.
