Answer 1

Cyprus can be a part of the Middle East or a part of Europe depending on the definitions of any one person examining the situation. Cyprus is a member of the European Union and has a majority Greek population, which would seem to make it a European country. However it is entirely south of Turkey and north of Egypt, which would make it geographically a Middle Eastern country and therefore the UN recognizes it as part of the Asia-Pacific Region as opposed to the Western European and Others Group.

Answer 2

Yes. Cyprus is part of the Middle East. It is located directly south of Turkey and as such, has never been seen as a European Country except as concerns its status in the European Union. Most Ancient artwork from Cyprus shows much stronger Persian and Akkadian influences than Greek influences (which come later but are never fully copied).

What is the smallest country in Southwest Asia and North Africa?

It depends on how you count this.The four smallest countries in the Middle East and North Africa are Lebanon, Cyprus, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (from largest to smallest). Lebanon is the smallest, clearly recognized country that is clearly in the Middle East. Cyprus is the smallest, clearly recognized country in the Middle East region, but there is debate as to whether Cyprus is in the Middle East or in Europe. The State of Palestine is smaller than Cyprus and clearly in the Middle East, but it is not clearly recognized. The Turkish Republic of Cyprus is the smallest, but is not clearly in the Middle East (for the same reasons as Cyprus more generally) and is only recognized by Turkey.
