Middle East between Turkey, Iran and America

Turkey, Iran and the United States .. Three of the major powers active in the file of interest and ambitions in the Middle East.


According to researcher Dr. Azim Mahmoud Hanafi, in his book "The Middle East conflicts and the changing interests .., Khatib and Turkish-Iranian relations", the determination of the relationships between these three forces is necessary to understand and analyze conflict and expand the regional influence in the region.


The book "The Middle East conflicts and interests .. variable, Khatib and Turkish-Iranian relations," recently published by Dar Al-e-kutub, Publisher-mail the first Arab, an indispensable reference for knowledge of interference conflicts and interests in the Middle East, particularly from the corner on three of the major forces actors where: Turkey, Iran and the United States.


In the context of his interpretation of the foundations of a triangle of power and dimensions of the relationship between Ozlall three: convergence and divergence of interests of all the power and ambitions, not only Dr. Hanafi to provide a map spacious of the history of regional relations, but it brings to mind what he was swept up developments of shifts and positions articulated contributed in drawing the main features Ltk map and identified many of the tracks.


• convergence of Turkish - Iranian steadily
Based study, Dr. Hanafi primarily to understand and analyze the course of the relationship Turkish - Iranian and discuss scenarios for the future of relations between the two countries, indicating the main developments surrounding this relationship and taking into account the fact that for both countries, a foreign policy different to the United States and the European Union and the Arab regional system according to the degree of interest.


The researcher assumes that there are many factors contributing to the process of convergence and divergence between Turkey and Iran. If the geographical factor plays a major role in the rapprochement between the two to face the challenge of Kurdish as a result of dispersal of the Kurds between four countries, two of which Arbietan are: Iraq, Syria, and two non-Arab countries are: Turkey and Iran; the worker's ideological "religious and specifically" role in the spacing between the two countries, because of the difference between Islamic regime in Iran and secular rule in Turkey.


And between this and that, come the economic interests which Tsotgb overlook any differences between the two countries, which contributed to a convergence of Turkish - Iranian steadily. However, this convergence will not be in the interest of another power, is the United States and its allies, and the U.S. role here appears to curb this relationship.
And trying to study, Dr. Azim Mahmoud Hanafi prove this hypothesis by answering the fundamental question about the nature-Turkish relations - Iran and its determinants and its fields and the impact of American worker who tends towards strengthening relations alliance with Turkey and try to contain the Iranian regime or drop and the impact on the course and future of those relations.
In the same vein, an area of ​​Iran's current barely two-thirds of the nineteenth century Iran, after losing Afghanistan to the south and large parts of the north Caucasus, the countries located on the geographic scope of its geopolitical dimensions, more than any other patch on the surface of the globe.


We are talking about is not like others, not only because of energy reserves in its territory, but because this region, and because of its geographical location the master of the international sea routes, identified pathways and still determine the rise and fall of great powers. The reason for the importance of the international sea routes to the bulk of the commodity exchange between the different countries of the world is through the vessels of the cheap transportation costs compared to planes, which reinforces the importance of the sea and control in resolving global conflicts. According to this perception of Iran occupies its place. On the same layout, Turkey has a central location in the global strategy is not for considerations of ideology, but for considerations of geopolitical as well, and is due to the geographical area that underlie Turkey was and is the core area Alawrasaa and the Centre for her district, and is a naval force the current "United States" the last area the basis for control universal, because they are trying to capture and besiege the ground force, "Russia" and prevent them from reaching the open sea. Turkey, overlooking the sea lanes in the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, also separates the Black Sea in Russia, which it must pass through to reach the warm waters of the Mediterranean. These two regional powers dominated the rivalry and hostility between them and dominated the competition more than friendship between them, especially since the Iranian revolution in 1979.


The Turkish government under the leadership of the ruling Justice and Development has adopted a foreign policy more Vaglih than its predecessors, but that the policies of this government toward Iran reflects to a large extent a continuation of the policies of previous Turkish governments in the eighties and nineties, and also notes some of the researchers, "Turkey was looking to Iran as a non- other countries in the Middle East, a nation-state must be large and important management "relations" with her and not face them.
The Turkey's desire to pursue a policy of directors or management of the relationship with Iran rather than face it, dating back to the time of the Ottomans, which still today is a must to see Turkey's foreign policy, but that this general tendency and preference of Turkish to diplomacy and the administration when it comes to affairs of Iran does not enough to understand the profound changes taking place in Turkey's foreign policy toward the Middle East in general and Iran in particular, which led to a remarkable convergence between Turkey and Iran through a deal for himself in the transfer of Iran's uranium enriched with both Turkey and Brazil. Under the deal announced on the seventeenth of May / May 2010 that the movement of 1200 kg of uranium Iran's low-enriched to Turkey to get in return for uranium enrichment is higher than Russia and France for use in the Tehran reactor for research, as well as a vote of Turkey, along with Brazil against the imposition of A fourth package of sanctions against Iran in the Security Council under Resolution 1929 with the steady increase in economic relations between the two countries according to specific indicators. This study addresses the future of Turkish relations - Iran's deal with the impact of working with the U.S. in this regard. "


• Turkey .. Iran .. America .. And conflict of interest
Importance of the theme of the book stems from several considerations, some of the specificity of the Iranian and Turkish regimes themselves, others and the repercussions of this Privacy Policy on the Arab world. The U.S. role to identify these implications. Where put the Iranian elite the same experiment is different from the systems of governance in the countries of the world, this is the first time since the end of World War I. The men of religion, as such the rule of an Islamic state, and the role that you see the elite Iranian Alhamkm for its role may be Iran's nuclear ambitions address these perceptions.


Also, Turkey is a country of the Islamic caliphate, has ended the caliphate in 1924 and adopted a secular approach to firm and chose to go west instead of the Islamic foreign policy, but the victory of the AKP election since the election in November 2002, the party with assets of Islamic and adoption of new approaches to foreign policy is based on multiple dimensions according to the government's vision of justice and development that Turkey was a state of terminal within the strategic framework of NATO, "NATO", based on the geographical environment of the Alliance of Western; But the strategic concept of NATO, the evolution during the post-Cold War, as did the accounts of Turkey for its strategic environment, the Turkish presence in Afghanistan, a clear indication of this change; Turkey is no longer a terminal state. Today it is facing pressure to take on an important regional role, creating, admittedly, tensions between the current strategic alliances and emerging regional responsibilities.
Turkey is also important for U.S. strategy by virtue of their importance geopolitical because it is surrounded by three seas and a natural bridge connecting the most important two continents, namely Asia and Europe and is located at the crossroads between Europe and the sources of energy-rich Middle East and the Caspian Sea basin and have the Straits, "the Bosphorus and Dardanelles," linking the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea.


And Turkey are not important to the United States for being a player geopolitical, but also for being a player Giostrutejia because it borders the spot risk of explosion because of the instability in the Balkans Eurasian and in the Middle East and Turkey's stability important for the United States, because if it was the lack of internal stability, that will make the whole area in a state of anarchy.


Noting that the U.S. states also benefited from the fact that one of the constants of Turkish politics is to go resolutely to the West. Side the U.S. sees Turkey player geo - strategic in the Balkans and the Middle East and its vitality in the political and economic spheres, but that this vision does not see Turkey as a player Geoastratejaa but you see the center geopolitical however depend upon the United States to strategic goals, interests are vast stretching from Central Asia to Persian Gulf require a military presence and an ally is directly in control of the arc of Big Oil extends from Central Asia and the Caspian Sea to Persian Gulf, and the control of the Iran and deal with it in terms that Turkey can form a wall hard in the U.S. efforts to establish a Sunni bloc of moderate countries in the region against the ambitions of tide of Shi'ite Iran, which took a challenge to the effort the U.S. in the Middle East, and Turkey is a democratic state secular Muslim only in the Middle East, and that kind of tolerant Islam that espouses can be a model to stop the so-called Islamic fundamentalism in the region and supports the efforts of the payment to democracy in Iraq.


D shows. Hanafi in his book, the dimensions of Turkish relations - Iran, and its future, through the analysis and identification of issues between the two countries, which result in tensions or conflicts as a result of certain differences between the two visions and issues of agreement between them. There is the impact of American worker on the future of those relations. Turkey and Iran occupy an important strategic position for the system of the Arab regional as from neighboring geographical share in the regional environment and one affect and are affected each to one another and each one in turn affects the Middle East and its neighbors, and at a broader level in the Muslim and Western worlds.This effect requires American intervention; intervention affects and is affected by the situation of mutual hostility between Iran and the United States against the backdrop of a number of issues on the one hand. On the other hand affects and is affected by the intersection of interests and rivalry between Iran and Turkey on the one hand, and America on the other hand, the spheres of influence in the Middle East
