Of course is european.
If West Asian is a European component, than so is N. African and SSA, and any other asian component for that matter, period.
If West Asian is not European component, you guys better redraw Europe map by removing Italy, Greece and many more neighbors..they all got 20+ % West Asian component.
23andme results intentionally redefine West Asian component according to the need to make sure all southern/sothern-east Europeans score verr high Euro percent.
Greece is 50% West Asian so are South Italians:

Reality is they are not 100% European. If West Asian is a European component then Turks, Armenians, Georgians, Persians would all be European.
50% is for small minority of Greeks/Italians and person can't look European if WA genes exceeds certain limit like 35% (assume).
Striking out Greeks and Italians is a shameful act since they are kind of founding fathers of Europe..
West Asian component exceeds 50% on average in Turks, Armenians, Georgians, Persians, so majority wont look Euro..
Some minorities of aforementioned groups could look Euro if WA component is not much..
