It's in where/that
Hello,
Which one of these two sentences would sound better and more correct grammatically? I remember I quite often happened to hear both, but I can't draw a clear demarcation line between them."That" sounds grammatically correct but in fact "where" is not uncommon to my ear either.
It's in Turkey where genuine natural dye carpets from different regions are woven.
It's in Turkey that genuine natural dye carpets from different regions are woven.
Thank you!
