actually, you're both right...
in german, the term "orient" is mostly used to describe the near and middle east, including turkey and even the islamic north of africa while in english it basically means asia, specifically including south and southeast asia...
I am aware of how the term is commonly used in the US, since I live there. That's is why I provided the wikipedia link, which clarifies the term for those who don't know. They are ignoring it and trolling instead, don't know if stupid or just bitter over my signature.
