Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey are the Middle East countries that form part of the Fertile Crescent.

Explanation:

The Fertile Crescent is a historical region that corresponds to part of the territories of the Mediterranean Levant, Mesopotamia and Persia.

It is bathed by the Nile, Jordan, Orontes, Tigris and Euphrates rivers and occupies about 500,000 km². The region comprises from the Nile valley and the eastern shore of the Mediterranean to the northern Syrian desert, and from northern Arabia, all of Mesopotamia to the Persian Gulf: territories that belong to the current countries of Egypt, Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip (Palestine) and Lebanon, as well as parts of the Jordan River, Syria, Iraq, southeastern Turkey and southwestern Iran. It is estimated that its population in antiquity would be around 40 or 50 million people. At present, it is an area of great political instability and state tensions.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
