The northern border of Turkey is the Black Sea. You need to add another
call to MAP_CONTINENTS with the keyword /Coast to get the Black Sea and
Caspian Sea to finish off the boundries.

However, many of the political boundries in IDL's database are still out
of date, especially in the Middle East. My solution was to use the new
Shapefile read routines in IDL and get the updated shapefiles of the
region from ESRI.
