If Turkey continues successfully down this path, it will be as strategically significant for the balance of power in the region as the emergence of Iran as a preeminent power thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the later destruction of Sunni dominance in Iraq by the US invasion.
In recent months, a spate of new agreements have been signed by Turkey with Iraq, Iran, and Syria that suggest a nascent commonality of political vision. A new treaty with Armenia further signals how seriously Ankara means its "zero problem" good-neighbor policy.
More important, however, the agreements with Iraq, Iran, and Syria reflect a joint economic interest. The "northern tier" of Middle Eastern states are poised to become the principal supplier of natural gas to central Europe once the Nabucco pipeline is completed – thus not only displacing Russia in that role but gradually eclipsing the primacy of Saudi Arabia as a geostrategic kingpin due to its oil reserves.

You’re funny, pathetic and delusional!
Which “Iran power” is “growing fast”??? IRIs’ power? They are barely holding on to power in Iran, and soon, their behind, and their supporters’ behind, will be kicked out of Iran for good! Are you insane? They are holding on to power using extreme, never before seen brutal oppression against your own people, you traitor!
Are you talking about military power?? Yeah, 1960s N Korean, Russian and Chinese technology is “helping Iran’s power grow faster”??? honestly, how much “lost” someone can be?
Their economy, in its absolute misery! Even they themselves are not denying that!
Its legality and legitimacy, well, it actually never had one!
Wow, these people need help bad!! So delusional! Unbelievable!
