Turkey's Strategic Role in the Middle East

Turkey has positioned itself as a significant power in the Middle East, particularly under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's leadership. The country's military strength and strategic location have allowed it to influence regional dynamics, especially as Iran's power declines. However, Turkey's role as a leader in the region is met with skepticism due to its non-Arab identity and the complexities of existing alliances.
