So, to round out the project of listing Prog artists from the Middle East region, here are the Turkish bands.  I also included Georgia and Armenia (close-by countries, each without a lot of bands listed). 

Note, that for the latter two, I did not go through all sub-genres to pick them out, but did a PA/web search, which in my experience, doesn't always catch every artist, so some may be missing.  Please comment if there are any you may know of left off the list.  I went back to sorting alphabetically:

 yes, Toykey.

I've only heard Nemrud, and have an album (which was temp in the PA top 100 at one time). Good stuff.

But, listening to Oaksenham right now, and quite liking it.

Oaksenham's Upon All the Living and the Dead topped my 2018 list. One of the best albums of a great decade.

... and Italian prog band has some Georgian elements incorporated in their music:

I'm very fond of

Erkin Koray (Trk)  -  Electronic Türküler  (1974)
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Yep, thats what I was listening to.

Cool vids; I guess by "Georgian elements" you mean traditional song/dance.
