How to break down MENA ?

[Cristiano viejo]

but Iberia is in Caucasus, isn't it?

Nah, that is a copy. There is only a true Iberia

MENA is an absolutely meaningless and loose term, and no sane person would use it in any serious context but it is very much liked by some insecure people from Europe who try to passify themselves as "true Europeans".

With the same success if desired one can compose dozens of similar terms:

SENA - Southern Europe and North Africa

NEMOS - Northern Europe and Mongolian Siberia

and so on and so forth.

And let one dog dare to say that these terms have less meaning than MENA!

They have less meaning, sorry. While Middle Easterns and North Africans (MENAs) share a lot of things (religion, culture, economically, poverty, poor developing, even climate, landscapes etc), South Europeans and North Africans dont, nor North Europeans and Mongolian Siberians.

Maghreb + Egypt/Levant + Anatolia + Arabian Peninsula + Iran/Caucasus. Afghanistan is culturally/ethnically West Asian but geographically at the crossroads of West, Central and South Asia.
