GeoChart region Europe #2212

If you select regio 150 (Europe), two countries are not seen as seperate countries but treated as Asia:

Turkey (which is at least partly) part of Europe
Cyprus
More doubtable, but formally party in Europe (Georgia)

We use it for a map where whe have customers in our company. We have some in Turkey and select that on the map but it stays unselected. When I select the worldmap it works fine.

Can you please treat Turkey as seperate country on the region 150 Europe map in the GeoChart?

I face same problem on a site which use your service. I didn't find Turkey at Europe section.

Turkey won Eurovision in 2003,
Istanbul was European Capital of Culture in 2010,
Istanbul was European Capital of Sports for 2012.
Many newspapers (notably The Economist) include articles about Turkey in a Europe section rather than a Middle East section.

As a Turkish citizen it is just an unclear part and i want to mention it.
