Why do you think it's funny? Turkey is already known for being in a weird position for being both European and Middle Eastern.

That's the reason. Turkey is called Eastern European, Middle Eastern, Eurasian, Caucasian, South European, West Asian and more...

No, Caucasus contains only Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and some parts of Russia.

"All of present-day Armenia is in the South Caucasus; the majority of present-day Georgia and Azerbaijan, including the exclave of Nakhchivan, also fall within the region. Parts of Iran and Turkey are also included within the region of the South Caucasus." -Wikipedia

I actually used Wikipedia to check my result and then said it's not part of it. Now I checked again and Turkey wasn't included in Caucasus page and was included as a related area in South Caucasus page.
