Turkey borders eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west, Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhichevan), and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast.

Since then, Turkey has become increasingly integrated with the West while continuing to foster relations with the Eastern world.
