The 8 countries that border Turkey: Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan (with Azerbaijan’s exclave of Nakhchivan), Iran, Iraq, Syria, Greece, and Bulgaria.

Of those, Greece extends the furthest west, and Iran the furthest east. (Prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the U.S.S.R would have been the “east” half of this correct response.)
