Best Answer

Asia and Europe are the continents that claim Turkestan.

Specifically, the word "Turkestan" means "Land of the Turks." The use of the term traces back to the geographers of ancient Persia. It includes not just modern-day Turkmenistan, but all of the Asian countries and the Asian/European country of Turkey where Turkish is spoken and Turkish peoples live.
