For the purposes of Jetpunk quizzes, Cyprus is considered to be in Asia. Therefore, Nicosia is considered to be an Asian capital.

How on earth did I think that Iraq was east of Kuwait? "Oh, Kuwait City isn't in the list? Better not try Baghdad then..."

I get that Cyprus is in Asia on Jetpunk, and I know Russia is considered part of Europe, and like Turkey... but Russia is in Asia too... how can you deny it? When you do the Asian counties quiz, doesn't Russia take up a big part of it? Moscow is well the hell west.

Okay, so Russia isn't included in the Asian quizzes, but throw me a bone, can't you just have Moscow filled in at the bottom? So no one guesses it.

Moscow is in the European part of Russia and Ankara is in the Asian part of Turkey. The title of the quiz is 'capitals IN Asia' which clearly eliminates Moscow and includes Ankara.
