Technically No, it is a mixture of races, religion, and nations, so it is very hard to say if it is a Arabic country or not but they say they are Arabs because the speak Arabic. They also speak Aramaic{Mostly Syrian Christians and Assyrians} or Syriac, Druze on the south speak Mountain Arabic or "Gabale" who ever lives with the Druze seems to learn how to talk like them because it is very easy to pick up. Druze are a secret religion back in the times but now they are unrevealing.
So you have two answers,
1. The whole idea, yes it is
2. be specific, no it isn't
Yes. Syria is properly considered an Arab country. The majority of the country is ethnically Levantine Arab and Arabic is the dominant language of communication and the only official language. The ethnic minorities do not determine the country.
Syria was Syria.
No, Syria is an independent country. Turkey is the country that boarders Syria from the north.
There is no other country above Syria than Turkey. East of Syria is Iraq and North is Turkey.
There is no one "nearest" country so Syria. Syria borders Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq. So, in a sense, all these countries are "nearest" to Syria.
Syria is an Arab country, and as such is in the Middle East. It lies between latitudes 32N and 38N, and longitudes 35E and 42E.

It is a little small so I apologize in advance. http://1muslimnation.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/muslim-syria-map-location.png?w=250&h=125
