CO's 60k mile Series 9B Awards say they are for "Between Europe and Asia." Europe includes Cyprus, and Asia is defined as "Asia, the Mid Pacific and the South Pacific."

The page does include a little disclaimer: "Not all rewards are valid on all partners. Additional mileage may be required on some partners. Other terms and conditions may also apply." But unfortunately it doesn't go into any more detail.

Note that there's also an 80k mile Series 9D Award which they say is "Between North Asia/South Asia and Europe." Europe for that award also includes Cyprus, and Korea is included in "North Asia" and Malaysia is included in "South Asia."

I can't really tell when one would apply and when the other would apply. My first reaction was that 9B would be departing from Europe and 9D would be departing from Asia, but that doesn't make sense, since the word "between" indicates either award can go either way (otherwise it should say "from X to Y" rather than "between X and Y").
