Not even the Ottoman Empire grew this fast!
Let Turkey grow!
Those who are smart, those who love their country, those who know the world, those who witness the slide of certain global powers and follow that carefully must applaud Turkey.
Attacks from the inside and the attempted undertaking of occupying forces must not be allowed. This is the final settlement of our disputes with our enemies, with our sons and grandsons, and with our geography. It has taken hundreds of combative fights to settle our final war.
If you look at the world and at any geography, Turkey seems to rise, ascending and advancing in any category, and is simply growing in that geography. For the countries who are poor and lacking in skill or knowledge, Turkey for them is hope and expectation for their safety. For those countries who are powerful Turkey is considered rival and an adversary.
This is true in Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, in Caucasus, and also in Central Asia, and South Asia. Whenever Turkey extends its hands to help a particular geography, it creates panic among the powerful nations and happiness among the poor nations. In doing so Turkey is playing with the most powerful nations.
It is strange that Turkey is a rival to the most powerful nations. Wherever Turkey extends its hand to help it encounters and faces the old colonial nations. Still it is strange that Turkey will not refrain, be afraid, or be reluctant to commit itself. Nor will it step back. Whenever Turkey faces powerful nations it enriches the game even more. It behaves with an even more courageous campaign against its rivalry. It looks as if Turkey has designed it strategic games to play with the most powerful nations.
Turkey cleverly planned its geopolitics and is taking its place playing the game in the global arena. Wherever Turkey steps in any geography within its area expands. Turkey is now in three continents and it is expanding influence in many areas.
No other nations attempt to do this. In Africa Turkey is in competition with the U.S., the UK, France, and China. In the Balkans Turkey is in competition with Germany and Russia. In the Middle East Turkey is in competition with the U.S. and Russia. In South Asia Turkey is in competition with the U.S. and the UK. In Central Asia Turkey is in competition with Russia and China.
Furthermore Turkey appears to be fiercely trying to settle outstanding accounts with China and Russia.
There is no other nation in the world who can do combative fighting, as well as compete with, relate to, connect with, and deal with powerful rivalries other than Turkey. In reality there is no other nation in the world who can cleverly knit together all these dealings.
No nation in the world can fight and play professionally in several fronts at the same time like Turkey can. No nation in the world can deal with complicated international political issues in the vast geopolitical arena like Turkey can. There is no other nation who can deal with hegemonic power other than Turkey.
This is the first time that Turkey has a Central Asia project. Turkey is seeking a future with Turkic speaking nations by forming a union. While strengthening its union with the Turkic speaking nations, Turkey is trying to strengthening its relations with China and Russia.
The reality of a Turkic nations union is real. Russian and Chinese media reveal that a Turkic speaking nations union is both an intermediate and a long term threat to both China and Russia. Russia and China are afraid Turkey will pull the U.S. and the West into Central Asia. But the U.S. and the West want to surround China and Russia. That is where Turkey is filling the empty power gap in Central Asia and is doing so with its own priority design. We can clearly say that since the Soviet Union has disintegrated.
Yes, Turkey has a Central Asia project. This is the first project of its kind but it can be argued it will extend further. An example is that other Muslim nations may join the Turkic union including Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
