I've always kind of considered Anatolia, Georgia, and perhaps Armenia a part of Europe. Or at least as a 'grey area'. I cannot think of these regions as a part Asia. But I never like the whole idea of dividing the landmass of Eurasia into two continents. It should be 3 or 4 divisions.

Yes, politically and culturally, they are considered part of Europe. But, geographically, Anatolia and Armenia are part of Asia, Georgia is part of both continents simultaneously.

heck, all of Asia was named after the province that now contains Izmir (like "Africa" just meaning Tunisia)
Anatolia is its own tectonic plate, at least : that's the big plateau at Turkey's heart
