Wastren Asie, Wast Asie, Soothwast Asie or Soothwastren Asie are terms that describe the wastmaist portion o Asie. The terms are pairtly coterminous wi the Middle East, which describes a geographical poseetion in relation tae Wastren Europe rather than its location athin Asie. Due tae this perceivit Eurocentrism, internaitional organisations sic as the Unitit Naitions,[1] hae replacit Middle East an Near East wi Wastren Asie. This region an Europe are collectively referred tae as Wastren Eurasie.
