Nice quiz - but am I alone in that I always considered the caucasus to be a part of the middle east?

Not alone but generally they aren't considered to be Middle Eastern countries, at least not since Russia got involved heavily in the region.

This site generally considers the Caucasus to be part of Europe, as does the rest of the internet increasingly it seems.

Personally, I always considered them to be part of Asia, not the Middle East though. Started to think I might have to give in and join in with Jetpunk's border scheme.

They're featured on the Middle East map quiz. Whether or not they are Asia or Europe doesn't really matter that much except perhaps from a historical perspective since the "Near East," "Middle East," and "Far East" were defined by their relative position to Europe.

I can never see Cyprus as a Middle Eastern country, it is something so completely different from the rest.

It doesn't have anything in common with any other it shouldn't be a middle eastern country.

That's what happens when you absurdly put Cyprus in Asia - you end up having to group it with the Middle East.

What's so absurd about it being in the Middle east? All those European cultural ties, that your side use as a "proof" that it belongs to Europe, come from it being a former crusader state, the last bastion of Christianity and European culture east of Constantinople. And where do you think the Crusades took place? That's right, in the Middle east.

It's pretty annoying when you accept "riyad", "edinburg", "pittsburg" etc. and we're left with the "h" at the beginning of the next answer

Arabs who know their geography do... it's a defined geo-political region that's far from being culturally homogeneous. Lines on a piece of paper at the end of the day.
