I believe it's still classed as being part of Asia though may become part of Europe in the not toooo distant future.

Turkey is actually already a member if the EU, though only an associate member at the moment, predominantly because of human rights concerns and the Cyprus question.
Turkey is already a full member of most other European bodies and also of NATO...The Council of Europe admitted Turkey as a full member in August 1949, just a few months after the signature of the Treaty of London.
In 1951, Turkey joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and became one of the cornerstones of the Euro-Atlantic defence system.
Turkey also joined the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (the OEEC, later to become the OECD), the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (later to become the OSCE) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Today, Turkey is a fully-fledged member of all leading European institutions except the European Union. In 1959, Turkey applied for associate member status of the European Economic Community (EEC), but a military coup in 1960 meant that the Ankara Association Agreement ended up only being signed in 1963.====0 -
