Geography is a cultural and political construct.
Why Morocco considered East, while Greece West?
Geographically Morocco is 2500km to the west from Greece, culturally Morocco is predominantly Muslim, while Greece Christian.
Also geographically almost whole Republic of Azerbaijan, parts of Russia, Turkey and Kazakhstan are considered in Europe.
The Kazakhstan case is funny, considering it's bordering China.
