Turkey's enduring eastern influence
Turkey has never been absent from the East; rather, it has been an integral part of its history and geography. It seems that Ankara is currently seeking to redefine its role in the region, not just its presence there. Through expanding its relations with key Arab and Islamic powers such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Syria, Turkey is shifting from merely maintaining a traditional presence to actively participating in balancing regional power dynamics and security and political activities. The Makkah Agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan represents a significant step in this context, highlighting Turkey’s transition from simply building relationships to being involved in shaping regional security arrangements. At the same time, it continues to move between East and West to enhance its position and influence in shaping the region’s emerging landscape.
