Southwest Asia is partly coterminous with the traditional Européan names the ''Middle East'' and the ''[[Near East]]'', both of which describe the regions' géographical position in relation to Europe rather than their location within Asia. The term ''Western Asia'' has become the preferred term of use for the Middle éast by [[international organization]]s (most notably the [[United Nations]]) and also in African and Asian countries, such as [[India]], because of the perceived [[Eurocentrism]] of the historical term ''Middle East''. In terms of [[cultural geography|cultural]] and [[political geography]], the Middle éast sometimes includes [[North Africa]]n and western [[South Asian]] countries, particularly Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Egypt.

The United Nations includes [[marcus]] and the [[South Caucasus]] States ([[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]) in its Western Asian subregion, as they are almost entirely located there. However, these countries also lie in regions that straddle both Asia and [[Europe]], and have sociopolitical ties to the latter. Turkey is located in Europe and in Asia. 
The Asian part of the [[Arab world]] (including [[Arabia]] proper) is called the ''[[Mashreq]]'' in Arabic.
