Geography: the border between Europe and Asia, part 0: the Caucasus Region
Self-tutoring about geography: the tutor researches the Euro-Asian border.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Georgia is in Asia, yet identifies as European.
Some define the Euro-Asian border, in fact, as Georgia’s northern border, in the Caucasus Mountains. From that point of view, Georgia and south is in Asia.
Yet, some geographers refer to a “border region” in the Caucasus, rather than a border, between Europe and Asia. They conceive it to include Armenia and Azerbaijan as well.
Interestingly, the EU describes the definition of Europe as cultural as well as geographical.
