The objective of the study revolves around two important issues, one is theoretical and the other is practical and is applied by providing a realistic analysis of the content and nature of the relationship between Turkey as a central and emerging regional state, then between the Middle East as a vital geostrategic region, where the events following World War II through international changes confirmed the status of the Middle East in considerations The great international and regional powers that are both motivated in it and have made it a territory that absorbs every crisis, imbalance, axes, and counter-alliances.
the introduction shows how the Middle East step with all of its regional forces inside the stages of the competition, conflict, attraction, and balance, achieving a high degree of pressure without approaching war, which has forced them to establish assumptions of balance and to develop renewed management patterns toward their national and regional concerns, even through proxy war, including Turkey.
If the above represents a theoretical return sought by the study, the practical element begins in terms of the work of the first element outputs.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Turkey insists on attending regional and international strategic interactions in the Middle East, for zeroing the problems, reflecting the expected risks, opening the channels of dialogue, and formulating regional cooperation scenarios, to maximize interests and gains and consolidate their hoped-for role, to become a gateway to Turkey’s strategic position internationally.
