Geographically West Asia (maybe) but practically with two European and one European/Asian nations occupying it. One island part is part of the EU, the other is not internationally recognised. Part of the EBU. This is without considering the disputed status of the TRNC More Europe than Asia, potentially - Turkey can claim to be both European and Asian. The EU considers the entire island to be part of the EU. Not sure which tectonic plate it sits on :) CIA World Fact book is not helpful: Middle East, island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey; note - Cyprus views itself as part of Europe; geopolitically, it can be classified as falling within Europe, the Middle East, or both Andrew Cater > > > > Looks inconsistent to me. > > Cyprus is a country located in Western Asia, according to Wikipedia [1]. > > So, yeah, it should not be listed under Europe. > > Adrian > > > [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus > > -- > .''`.
