MENA
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Middle East and North Africa.
Some related terms have a wider definition than MENA, such as MENASA (lit. 'Middle East and North Africa and South Asia') or MENAP (lit. 'Middle East and North Africa and Afghanistan and Pakistan'). The term MENAT explicitly includes Turkey, which is usually excluded from some MENA definitions, although Turkey is almost always considered part of the Middle East proper.
