Probably you should add Cyprus, because the northern part of the island is turkish, or under turkish dominion. But it was fun!

Cyprus has a Greek part and a Turkish part yes, but that's still the country Cyprus.

Oct 6, 2016

and officially, the north didn't join Turkey but declared independence, which Turkey recognized

Level 75

Oct 19, 2016

I would say there's a strong argument for adding Cyprus. Or at least doing the standard JetPunk thing and adding it as an already entered answer

Level 72

Oct 21, 2023

No there isn't.

You shouldn't, The "Turkish part" is separated by the UN Buffer zone.

Just because there are Somalis in Kenya doesn't mean that Somalia borders Uganda.

Level 69

Oct 31, 2023

You shouldn't. First, it's an illegal occupation, that only Turkey itself has officially recognised. Second, even Turkey doesn't claim it borders Cyprus, as it pretends that "Northern Cyprus" is a sovereign state.

Yes it does, for about 8 km along the Aras river.

Level 85

Oct 19, 2016

Plattitude is right. The Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan is southwest of Armenia. It has a tiny border with Turkey at the Aras River.

Level 46

Oct 21, 2023

The border is 16.9 km not 9

Level 86

Oct 20, 2016

Learned something new - Azerbaijan has an enclave west of Armenia, that does in fact border Turkey!

Level 57

Dec 4, 2016

Actually, it's an exclave.

Level 81

Dec 4, 2016

It's not universally recognized to be part of Azerbaijan.

^ yeah, Armenians aren't awfully happy about it, but that's it

@kalbahamut It is recognised as a part of Azerbaijan.

Cyprus is an island

Level 81

Dec 4, 2016

well Cyprus does border Northern Cyprus which is basically an extension of Turkey. Convenient place for them to keep most of their casinos and brothels.

Level 59

Dec 4, 2016

But Northern Cyprus declared independence. It's not like it became a province of Turkey.

Level 83

Dec 4, 2016

Quizzes would become awfully complicated if we included all cases like this. Of course de facto Northern Cyprus is very closely linked to Turkey, but nobody recognizes it as such, not even themselves. The same with Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh, but unlike Crimea for example.

Level 81

Nov 6, 2018

Gamer: that's not really what happened, though. In the 1970s Greek partisans attempted to annex Cyprus to Greece. In response, Turkey invaded Northern Cyprus and expelled Greeks from that part of the island. Currently, Turkey is the *only* country in the world that recognizes Northern Cyprus. The "country" is entirely dependent on Turkey for its economy and military and is essentially a puppet satellite state of Turkey. The United Nations considers Northern Cyprus to be a part of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish occupation.

Level 39

Jun 14, 2021

@kalbahamut, you are giving wrong and false information. Yes, Northern Cyprus is economically (almost) dependent to Turkey, but it isn’t a province, dependency etc. of Turkey. Turkey recognises Northern Cyprus as a country, not a dependency. And also UN doesn’t consider Northern Cyprus as a part of Turkey. And Northern Cyprus is not under the occupation of Turkey. Even some Northern Cypriots hate Turkey. UN considers Northern Cyprus as an unrecognised state, part of Republic of Cyprus.

(Extra information: There is a United Nations Buffer Zone between “two Cyprus”.)

Level 72

Oct 21, 2023

Northern Cyprus IS occupied by Turkey because the latter has troops stationed there since 1974.

Level 81

Dec 1, 2022

I think I responded to this comment already... but looks like my response was deleted? sigh. Not that surprising. But, whatever, I forget what I pulled up to support my case but, no, I'm not giving wrong or false information. I never said TRNC was a province of Turkey. I said what I said. Which is accurate. I remember doing some research into TRNC politics and citing some interesting details about various referendums and such... it wasn't inflammatory... certainly did not break the rules of the site... the stuff I post that gets deleted literally for no reason on here is so annoying. That I post a lot of comments is not a good excuse either.

Level 65

I did it with 1:45 left.

Nice quiz! On my big OE (overseas experience) from NZ, Turkey was may favourite country.

Glad you liked it!:D

Level 55

Dec 4, 2016

Sonko, I wonder what Kalbahamut's problem is with you. In almost every quiz that you have created he is criticising you and the quiz. Vreselijk kinderachtig als je het mij vraagt.

Level 59

Dec 4, 2016

What do you mean "every quiz"? Kal has commented on 4 quizzes out of 21 Sonko has created. That's 19% of all his quizzes, so no Kalbahamut hasn't commented on 'almost all of Sonko's quizzes'. Unless commenting on 4 quizzes equals 'almost all of Sonko's quizzes', which then seems quite ridiculous.

Level 34

Dec 12, 2016

Haha, ik heb het gemerkt ja!

Level 36

Apr 4, 2018

Sonko and Jordaan. I agree with Gamer 1162, Kalbahamut frequently comments and comments... and comments. But that is NOT the case in this instance. As much as I often disagree with him, it is unfair to attribute to him something which he has not done. Also, it is impolite

to have an exchange in a language other than that of the quiz. (Dutch is one of the languages I speak, so I understood your exchange with each other).

Level 47

Feb 23, 2019

Idea for new quiz: Quizzes that Kalbahamut has commented on...

Level 91

Mar 18, 2020

I haven't seen a single comment of his on this quiz that criticizes either the quiz or the quiz creator. Unless it was already removed in the time since you've left this comment, but even then, I highly doubt he would make a criticism without a given reason.

i love these bordering quizzes where they are underwater :)

Weird how bulgaria is guessed less than azerbaijan

Level 34

Mar 18, 2020

Probably because most people guess Armenia+Georgia+Azerbaijan right after eachother ;)

Level 72

Mar 18, 2020

I do link armenia and georgia. But azerbaijan is stored with the stans in my mind :)

here today as "punishment" for forgetting turkey in the quiz countries with most amount of countries within 100km (I think I missed it with the 200km aswell)

btw bulgaria is still low ;)

Level 51

Mar 18, 2020

Good quiz!! ;)

Level 75

Mar 19, 2020

@sonko don't get offended, this is not critisism towards you, but to the Quizmaster

what i want to say is, that i cannot fully understand how so many boring quizzes can be featured, where you only need to know the locations of huge countries on the world map, yet great quizzes, I'm not saying mine are so brill, but there are definitely some that are more engaging than well quizzes like this one or basically all of Jerry928's quizzes, which are simply the closest countries to every damn country on the planet

Level 34

Mar 20, 2020

Fair point, I totally get what you're saying. There's definitely more engaging quizzes than this one.

I do think that most people here tend to prefer simple and country related quizes.The Quizmaster simply features what the masses want.

I didn't do this but I bet Turks [purposely] forgot to type in Greece...

Level 39

Jun 14, 2021

I am Turk and no, we didn’t... Problems are about with politics and politicians. Not the people.

Level 71

Jul 5, 2021

Even though they have had a lot of complicated relations historically and practice different religions, Turks and Greeks seem to have a lot in common culturally (personally, it seems similar to the relationship between India and Pakistan). I also read a comment from Kalbahamut on another quiz that Turks, Greeks, and Slavs have all intermarried for generations, leading to genetic similarities in the region as well.

Level 39

Jul 24, 2021

Yeah.

Level 48

Aug 6, 2021

FUN FACT: Each of these countries uses a different writing system, and none of them are the latin alphabet!!!!

Level 63

Oct 12, 2021

That’s not quite entirely accurate, unfortunately. Azerbaijani *is* written using the Latin script (at least, it is in Azerbaijan itself!).

All the rest is entirely accurate, though.

Level 35

Mar 15, 2022

I got all with 0:05 seconds left, surprised that Azerbaijan borders Turkey

Do you go to the Turkish language quizzes and tell them to stop using Amerika Birleşik Devletleri?

Level 33

May 13, 2022

I've never realized how bad of a spot Turkey is in, surrounded by Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

And also why doesn't Cyprus count, Turkey owns Northern Cyprus?

Level 19

Jun 2, 2022

Northern Cyprus is not recognised, therefore it is not considered a neighbouring country.

Level 53

Oct 21, 2023

It is only recognised by Turkey, but even Turkey regards it as an independent country, not a part of Turkey; therefore no country on Earth claims the existence of a Turkish-Cypriote border

Level 72

Oct 21, 2023

With your logic then Russia borders your beloved Ukraine along Crimea and Donbass.

Level 49

Aug 12, 2022

I just love Türkiye, and also, oh noo, I just sunk about more than 100 million people into the sea cause of my lack of memory

Aug 13, 2023

Level 53

Oct 21, 2023

The Turkey-Azerbaijan border is actually 17 km long

Level 46

Oct 21, 2023

Yes 16.9 km

Level 52

Oct 22, 2023

Why does Syria have Lebanon??

I may be dumb...

Level 61

Oct 23, 2023

I thought the same thing, but Lebanon is below Syria on the coast with the Medeterranean.

Theres a ATM in that small Turkish area bordering Azerbaijan with a one star review made two days ago:

Beğenmedim. Yeri bi kere iyi değil. Daha doğuda yapacak yer bulamadınız mı. İnsan biraz daha batıya yapar.

Google Translate says the person is complaining about the location
