551 km / 342 miles. One of the next generation of countries deserving of full statehood, if only the nations (Iraq/Turkey/Syria/Iran in this case) hanging onto them will let go and let their inhabitants decide their future.

The quiz should make sense. If Cyprus and Turkey are in physical proximity to each other and politically affiliated, it is ludicrous to have one and not the other. Distances not withstanding. You all have no problem lumping Egypt with the Middle East when its actually in Africa, so why this distinction? - Delete away Quizmaster.

Also, I've just checked. the distance from Turkey to the Persian Gulf is 843 Miles. The Distance from Cyprus to Turkey is 376 Miles. It is hard for me to believe that Turkmenistan, Russia and Georgia are closer to the Gulf than Cyprus. But if true, that's a fantastic argument for making Cyprus a part of Europe, isn't it!

The distance from Turkey to the Persian Gulf isn't 843 miles, it is 524 miles (843 km). The distance from Cyprus to Turkey is 43 miles, not 376 miles. But distances aren't additive in this context as for example Norway and North Korea are both 0 miles from Russia, but thousands of miles from each other. And I'm not really sure if this has much to do with whether Cyprus is in Europe or Asia (answer: it is completely arbitrary).

Also, it has been historically called Arabian Gulf in many Ottoman and French maps that date back over 500 years including (Turcici Imperii Imago) that I can remember on top of my head. There's no need to show excessive pride because that yields ignorance.
