>Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday he hoped more countries would join a defence agreement signed last week between Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan aimed at stabilising a region wracked by conflict.
>“Our vision for it is not limited to the three countries,” the Turkish leader told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat daily. “Rather we aspire for it to grow, and perhaps appropriate conditions will emerge one day for all countries of the region to gather under its umbrella.”
>Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Saturday said Turkiye expected Egypt to join the pact “in the next stage”, telling the Anadolu state news agency only “a few technical issues” stood in the way.
not really quite sure where he wants to go with this
i assume the intent is to make a big bloc to intervene more frequently into brown affairs and keep the region more in line with turkish interests but i really don't think turkey has the national power to be the bossnigger of this alliance
