Turkey Signals Sweeping Regional Ambitions
In an opinion piece, Dr James M. Dorsey, a Senior Fellow at RSIS discussed Turkey’s regional ambitions. A Turkish nationalist TV station with close ties to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently aired a map outlining Turkey’s projected sphere of influence in 2050, rustling Russian and Iranian feathers. TGRT, a subsidiary of Ihlas Holding, a media and construction conglomerate that has won major government tenders, used the map to advance a policy that has long constituted the agenda of some of Erdoğan’s closest advisers, he said.
