Crossword Genius

Geographical area making central point (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

middle east

'geographical area' is the definition.
(Middle East is an example)

'central point' is the wordplay.
'central' becomes 'middle' (similar in meaning).
'point' becomes 'east' (east is a kind of point).
'middle'+'east'='MIDDLE EAST'

'making' acts as a link.

(Another definition for middle east that I've seen is " Troubled zone".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
