Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les ouvrages de référence ne s’entendent pas sur la définition de cette région, souvent confondue avec le Moyen-Orient. Jadis, l'ethnocentrisme des Européens a amené le découpage d’une partie de l'Afrique septentrionale et de l'Asie occidentale en deux régions : le Proche-Orient et le Moyen-Orient, l'Extrême-Orient désignant des contrées éloignées comme la Chine, le Japon, etc. Dans ce contexte, le Proche-Orient englobait, au sens étroit, l'ensemble des pays riverains de la Méditerranée orientale, soit l'Égypte, Israël, le Liban, la Syrie et la Turquie. Toutefois, il n’ était pas rare d’en voir une définition élargie qui incluait également les pays de la péninsule Arabique(Arabie saoudite, Bahreïn, Émirats arabes unis, Koweït, Oman, Qatar, Yémen). D'autres y ajoutaient l'Iran et l'Iraq, parfois la Libye et le Soudan. Cependant, la notion de Proche-Orient tend de plus en plus à se confondre avec celle de Moyen-Orient qui s’étend un peu plus à l'est. Il nous semble toutefois, que l'expression Proche-Orient, prise au sens large, est généralement plus exacte pour désigner la région dont il est souvent question dans les journaux, que Moyen-Orient qui englobe des pays quelque peu éloignés du théâtre du conflit israélo-arabe. 3, record 3, French, - Proche%2DOrient
