Assessing Turkey‘s Developments and Strategic Landscape

Welcome to Asian Horizon! In this article, we will delve into the developments in Turkey and explore its industrial and strategic landscape. Despite the criticisms and underestimations, President Erdogan and the Turkish government have shown a nuanced and sophisticated approach that should not be overlooked.

Infrastructure Developments in Turkey

Turkey recently built the Istanbul airport, the largest airport in the world, and is now planning to construct the Istanbul canal parallel through the Bosphorus strait. These developments not only expand logistics operations but also provide an alternative route in the event of disruptions in the Bosphorus strait, as seen with the recent Evergreen ship incident.

Turkey as an industrial Power

With numerous industrial zones and a strong logistics network, Turkey has positioned itself as a significant industrial power with influence reaching across Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Turkey‘s Global Influence

President Erdogan’s extensive state visits across Africa and the Middle East, as well as Turkey‘s involvement in military operations in regions such as Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh, Syria, and Iraq, demonstrate the country’s global influence and strategic positioning.

Economic Corridor with China

Turkey‘s trade corridor with China is set to grow, with increased business opportunities across the Caucasus and Central Asia, aligning with China’s One Belt One Road strategy. This will further solidify Turkey‘s importance as a global economic player.

Challenges and Elections

Despite the tensions in US-Turkish relations and upcoming challenges such as the potential recognition of the Armenian genocide, as well as the upcoming election in 2023, it is evident that President Erdogan and the Turkish government are focused on maintaining their global relationships and influence.

In Conclusion

Turkey should not be underestimated, and a nuanced and informed assessment is crucial when considering its potential as a key player in the global landscape.
