Does this mean if you have in itinerary such as JFK-HEL-DEL, that doesn't count? Is Russia classified as "Asia"?

It's unfortunate that we have to really read any sentence in the most restrictive way. If this is true, it would be nice to have a disclaimer that JFK-HEL-DEL on a single fare doesn't count.
It's entirely possible that Russia may be considered a " no-man's land" that is neither European nor Asian, as far as the OW/AA program is concerned. I've flown JFK-HEL on it's own with Finnair, and have also flown on Finnair from JFK to HKG (definitely Asia!) and TLL (definitely EU!) in the past without any issues. This is the first time I've had this problem.
