New Job For Jim Murphy


Recommended Posts

Europe - a continent in the W part of the landmass lying between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, separated from Asia by the Ural Mountains on the E and the Caucasus Mountains and the Black and Caspian seas on the SE.

The Caucasus Mountains cut through Georgia and Azerbaijan - so both are partially in Europe and partially in Asia.

Europe is west of Altrau in Kazakhstan - there is even a sign on a bridge in Atyrau - One side says Europe and other side says Asia (used to cross bridge going to work )

So i would say Arrmenia, Georgia etc are in Europe

Fair enouch on the first part Euan, but west of Atyrau is north of the Caucasus. Armenia & Georgia are south of them.

Anyway folks, is the argument geographical or cultural?

How about geological? Most of Scotland is of North American origin.

That's my understanding - mostly in Asia, but partly in Europe. The same as Russia, Turkey and Kazakhstan.

Armenia is wholly in Asia... as is Cyprus.
