President's Chief Advisor Mehmet Uçum proposed a new name for the Middle East. In his post on social media, Uçum stated that the term Middle East is Orientalist, saying, "As an innovation, we can start using the name 'Central Afro-Eurasia' instead of Middle East." "THE SYRIAN REVOLUTION MAY OPEN THE DOOR TO A NEW WORLD ORDER"Uçum used the following expressions: "The People's Revolution in Syria did not only end the Baath and Assad dictatorship, that is, this bloody regime. This revolution also indicates that a new process affecting the entire Middle East has begun. The process triggered by the Syrian revolution may also nurture a hope that will open the door to a just new world order." "THERE IS A NEED FOR A MORE OBJECTIVE NAME"It should be noted that the term Middle East is Orientalist. It ignores the diversity, historical and cultural richness of the region and reflects the Western perspective on this geography. Therefore, experts and academics in the field have a role to play in the naming process. "IT PROPERLY EXPRESSES THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF THE REGION"As an innovation, we can start using the name 'Central Afro-Eurasia' instead of Middle East. The name 'Central Afro-Eurasia' offers a more neutral and objective naming that is far from Orientalist approaches towards the region in a geographical and historical context. At the same time, it accurately expresses the strategic importance, cultural diversity, and historical roles of the region."
