Iconic Map of Turkey

Sandy from Hong Kong sent me an Iconic Postcard.
It's obvious that the country shows in the postcard is the Republic of Turkey as the country's coastline bordering the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.  

Sandy pasted some beautiful Hong Kong stamps showing the Po Pin Chau , Collared Scops Owl and Year of Horse.
