[edit] Borders of The Regions

There is something wrong about those regions maps. Regions of Turkey are divided according to geography. Here is an official map: [1]. Borders of the provinces aren't determinative. For instance, most of the Sivas province belongs to Eastern Anatolian Region, most of the Gaziantep province belongs to Mediterranean Region and almost half of Konya and Çankırı provinces belongs to the other regions. Because, as I've said before, geography is determinative here, not borders of the provinces. They are already called "Geographical Regions of Turkey" officially at schools.

Maps are interpretive. The definitions for the regions are taken from Statoids, which defines what provinces are in what region. The information from Statoids comes from official Turkish government sites. Rarelibra 05:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree Ajda. Maps are really wrong. in that map, centre of province is in some region, all province put in that. in fact, some provinces are in two provinces.
