What is European? Greek? German? Swedish?
什么是歐洲文化？希臘文化？德國文化？瑞典文化？

Turkish culture is turkic culture with a lot of influences from other Middle Eastern/Anatolian cultures (i.e. Armenia, Anatolian Greeks, Kurds, etc) and European.
土耳其文化是受到其他中東文化、安納托利亞文化（即亞美尼亞文化、安納托利亞的希臘文化以及庫爾德文化等）和歐洲文化影響的突厥文化。

Turkish culture shares a lot with Greek, but essentially nothing with say, German.
土耳其文化與希臘文化有許多共同之處，但是換個歐洲國家，比如德國，兩者的差別就大相徑庭了。

Turkey has been in the crossroads of Europe and Asia and a large center for many cultures.
土耳其一直處于歐洲和亞洲的十字路口，是眾多文化的交匯中心。

Even each region in Turkey has a distinct tradition from another. Western Turkey is more similar to Greece and Balkans while Eastern Turkey is more similar to Kurdish and Armenian (of course with many Turkic elements as the origins are from Central Asia).
甚至連土耳其各地區(qū)之間都存在顯著的文化傳統(tǒng)差異。土耳其西部與希臘和巴爾干地區(qū)更為相似。土耳其東部則更類似于庫爾德和亞美尼亞地區(qū)，當(dāng)然，那里有許多起源于中亞的突厥元素。

Final Conclusion: No, it is not European but rather a blend of Anatolian, Central Asian (Turkic), and European (mostly Greece and Balkan countries) cultures.
最后總結(jié)一下：土耳其文化不是歐洲文化，而是安納托利亞、中亞（突厥）和歐洲（主要是希臘和巴爾干國家）文化的混合體。
