Turkey to Washington increase its international influence

Relations between Turkey and the United States are becoming more narrow and Ankara increases its specific gravity as an ally, within the Washington foreign policy. The evolution of the Arab world after the Arab Spring and misjudgments about the affirmation of democracy in these countries, have increased the importance of Turkey in the eyes of the U.S., who sees in turkish political model, the best possible solution to reconcile the 'Islamism and political life of a state. Of course it is a faith not extreme, even if it has commingling in public life that begin to overflow, in some cases, beyond the level of guard, but which, however, is at present the best compromise gained on the international scene the United States. Furthermore, Turkey has always been considered a strategic ally within NATO, which sees increase its importance due to its geographical position within the crucial Middle East region. After Israel, in fact, Turkey is the most important ally in the region, the international situation is becoming critical. With these premises, the comparison between Erdogan, Prime Minister of turkish and President Obama has taken a further importance, compared to the single occasion. The two sides agreed on a common strategy to try to end the Syrian War, which must necessarily end with the ouster of Assad. The two governments, as well as continued military liaison monitoring the use of chemical weapons in the country Syria, have jointly identified the need to strengthen the opposition to prepare for a transition that sees the presence of a representative government. To achieve this result will be used all our diplomatic and military options that will be needed. For Turkey, but also for the United States with a view to protection of Israel, it is important to turn off as soon as the outbreak Syrian attempt to avert dangerous trespassing on their territory, as has already occurred, which may involve the country in war actions turkish direct . The end of the conflict means strengthening, not only military, but especially of some political parties of the opposition and not of the entire opposition indiscriminately. The aim is to strengthen the groups less extremists, who can manage a transition in a peaceful manner, without involving the country in a climate of revenge, this task seems daunting without a foreign presence to serve as a bearing and implements a tight control on the management the transition of power. But this scenario is still far without the cooperation of China and especially Russia, which remains linked to the Assad regime, including through practices that violate the supply of arms embargoes in place. Beyond these considerations, the Washington meeting stressed the international position reached by Turkey, which is now on the scene as a middle power, with military capabilities and great influence on the Arab countries, as recognized publicly by the U.S., that has increased the international prestige of Ankara that Turkey will spend to expand its area of ​​influence, according to Erdogan programs, should be similar to the boundaries of the old Ottoman Empire, clearly not a direct rule, but as a point of reference for the countries of 'area.
