| AsGryffynn said: Before you all end up embroiled in a debacle involving semantics and linguistic fads, Asia Minor has been used to refer to anything east of the Bosphorus. The Near East has been used to refer to what would be considered Turkey, the Middle East is a rather new term used to refer to Arabia and Persia and the Far East to East and Southern/Southeast Asia. East = Asia. The only exception is really Russia, which isn't an exception because most work in the Northern Districts that are between the Sarmatic region and the Urals, which are considered European. |

It isn't called the "near-east" anymore. Otherwise, the balkans could also be part of it. Also, Turkey is part of the Middle East as well.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
