Today's Zaman: "Turkey's political system is becoming more and more of the Middle East"

The Turkish edition of Today's Zaman writes about the future of Turkey. The conflicts in the regions of Turkey, where the overwhelming majority of the population is represented by the Kurds, determine who will eventually come to power. Despite the expectation of early elections there is still a possibility that a minority government can be formed. At the same time, the ongoing conflict in Syria has a significant influence on the Turkish political and social system.

Starting in 2011, Turkey's political system is becoming more and more of the Middle East, even given the fact that the Republic strive to become a part of the EU. Thus the country is experiencing a growing social divide, which may adversely affect the position of the state. Most of the population dissatisfied with the conflict with the Kurds, as well as the failure of the authorities against the Syrian issue, no special hope that the special election will change in any way the political situation in the country. Experts estimate that Turkey expects quite a difficult period associated with a serious political and economic crisis. In addition, the country is faced with the threat posed by the Islamic State, which gives reason to believe that 2016 will be critical for the Republic in many respects.

Issues to be addressed to the Government of Turkey's future lie in resolving the economic situation, holding a series of political and social reforms, as well as the reorganization of the state's foreign policy. Without building relations with Russia and its Western partners Turkey, which has a huge potential, will be not be able to maintain a leading position in the region.

The US analytical publication The US News wrote that if an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program is not approved, then the US will be the only state that dare to enter into armed conflict with Iran. Despite the fact that in the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program outside the United States participated in Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, it is America that has taken on the responsibility to accept or reject the deal. Despite a number of serious internal problems and external debt of 17 trillion, the US leadership does not leave attempts to influence the fate of other nations.

If Congress rejected the agreement, the US government alone will be with Iran. Even the United Kingdom will not support its economic and strategic partner. Returning to the sanctions is impossible, since there are no  actual benefits of the unilateral imposition of restrictions. The military intervention against Iran would hardly possible, because the territory of the country four times of the Iraq’s size o and the United States simply will not have the necessary resources in order to win over Iran.

Taking responsibility for the fate of the settlement of the agreement the United States put themselves in a desperate situation, which once again proves the failure of their foreign policy. Ambitious plans for global hegemony can not be implemented because of the lack of competent diplomacy, as well as support of America's closest allies.
