Middle EastTrue or False?

How many countries in the Middle East?

• A  Probably the best way to explain the location
  of the Middle East is to say that it lies at the
  junction of Asia, Africa, and Europe. It is
  important to note that there is no official
  definition of the Middle East, no universally
  agreed-upon set of countries that make up the
  region. Different people have different areas in
  mind when they use the term. Of the 28 countries
  that fall within this broader area, 22 lie
  completely in Asia and 2 lie completely in
  Africa. The remaining 4 countries are split
  between two continents

How many continents are in the middle east?

• Middle East Countries by Continent Asia
  Afghanistan, Armenia, Bahrain, Cyprus, Georgia,
  Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan,
  Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,
  Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab
  Emirates, Uzbekistan, Yemen (Note The Gaza Strip
  and the West Bank are also part of Asia.)
• Africa Libya, Sudan
• Africa-Asia Egypt
• Asia-Europe Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan
• Because the Middle East lies at the junction of
  Asia, Europe, and Africa, and because several of
  its countries straddle two of the continents,
  it's not surprising that the region's geography
  causes confusion.
