I asked if Egypt and Pakistan were considered parts of The Middle east, and was sent a hyperlnk saying that all of North Africa was, and all the way to the Iran/ Pakistan border, but not Pakistan. I was ok with this, but the list said that Turkey was in the Middle East, but implied it was all of Turkey. I wonder though if it meant only the part of Turkey in Asia, or did it also mean that the city of Istanbul, well known as being in Europe, was also part od the Middle East . Is it ?
