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 organizations (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 and political geography, the Middle éast sometimes includes North African and western South Asian countries, particularly Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Egypt. 

The United Nations includes marcus and the South Caucasus States (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and 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.
