Through most of their history, the Romans did not call present day Turkey Asia Minor. To them Asia Minor meant Asia within the Empire and Asia Major meant Asia beyond the Empire.
The Greeks called the peninsula which forms most of Turkey Asia. The Romans called Asia only the western part of this area.
Through most of their history the Romans did not have a name for this peninsula. It was during the Byzantine period that the name Asia Minor came to be used for this peninsula. The Byzantines also called it Anatolia.
Through most of their history the Romans had several names for several areas of present day Turkey. Before the Romans, this area was dividend into many separate states and then the Romans formed several imperial provinces.
The last king of Pergamon bequeathed his kingdom (in the west) to Rome. This area became the Roman province of Asia. The king of Pontus (in the northeast) waged war against the Romans. Rome won and Pontus was annexed. The king of Bithynia (in the northwest) who was an ally of Rome in the war against Pontus, bequeathed his kingdom to Rome. The two areas were merged and became the province of Bithynya and Pontus. Other states became client states of Rome: Lycia(in the south), Galatia (in the central area) and Cappadocia (further east east in the central area). Later the province of Lycia and Pamphylia, the province of Galatia and the province of Cappadocia were formed.
Cilicia (the eastern part of the southern coast) was a hub of piracy and difficult to control. When the Romans eventually managed to exert control, it became the province of Cilicia
The eastern part of what is now Turkey was Armenia.
Ur was not in present day Turkey. It was a Sumer city in the southern Iraq area of Mesopotamia.
