Yes, both cities are in the country of Turkey. Admittedly, like most countries that have two prominent cities (NY and LA in the USA, Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in Israel, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo in Brazil, etc.) there is a strong sentiment among both Istanbul and Ankara residents that they live in worlds apart, but this is more of a cultural issue than a geographic one.

Is Istanbul in Europe?
The capital city of Turkey is Ankara. It is important to note that Turkey is not divided between Europe and Asia (in terms of subnational regions). The region with the entirety of Europe in it is the Marmara Region which also has areas from northwest Anatolia (with roughly the same area). This region, however, is cultural, as opposed to administrative and therefore has no capital. Istanbul does serve as capital of Istanbul Province, which is on both sides of the Bosporus. See the related link for an image of the Marmara Region.
