A marine arrangement for country of Western Asia (7)

I believe the answer is:

armenia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country of western asia' is the definition.
'armenia' can be an answer for 'country' (Armenia is a country). I am unsure of the 'of western asia' bit.

'a marine arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates anagramming the letters.
'marine' is an anagram of 'rmenia'.
'a'+'rmenia'='ARMENIA'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armenia that I've seen before include "Former Soviet republic of south-east Europe, capital Yerevan" , "Republic, formerly part of the Soviet Union" , "Republic in N W Asia" , "South-west Asian country, capital Yerevan" , "Republic formerly in the USSR" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
