Is Cyprus part of the Middle East?
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).
