Turkey's Land Border Lengths and Neighboring Countries

Turkey, thanks to its strategic location, serves as an important bridge between both Europe and Asia. The country's land borders extend to several neighboring countries, playing a crucial role in Turkey’s security, trade, and regional relations.

Longest Land Border: Syria

Turkey’s longest land border is with Syria, stretching approximately 905 kilometers. This border is located in the southeast and holds critical importance for both commercial and security reasons.

Land Border Lengths with Other Neighboring Countries

• Iran: Approximately 558 kilometers

• Armenia: Approximately 323 kilometers
• Georgia: Approximately 272 kilometers
• Bulgaria: Approximately 267 kilometers

I could not find an official source for the lengths of country borders. There are many different sources and the ones I have seen have written values ??without giving an official source.

Therefore, I am writing our own measurements. I am giving these figures because we created borders at the neighborhood level. (We made the calculations in the Lambert_Conformal_Conic Coordinate System.) We could have given a source and taken the easy way out.

The figures we have given do not have an official value. Geographic Information Systems are limited by our knowledge and data.
