Answer:

Kyrgyzstan and Greece are not considered part of the Middle East.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Middle East is a region that roughly covers Southwest Asia (not counting the Caucasus) along with Egypt. This concept brings together countries such as Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Turkey and Yemen, but also for two nearby countries (Cyprus and Egypt).

The largest ethnic communities in this area are Arabs, followed by Turks, Turkmens, Persians, Kurds, Azeri, Copts, Jews, Assyrians, Maronites, Circassians, Somalis, Armenians, Druze and numerous other smaller ethnic groups.
