More and more, we are talking about a new alignment in the region. Turkiye, which was once viewed with suspicion by both Egypt and the Arab Gulf states, is getting closer to Cairo and Riyadh. The reason is obvious: Egypt, Turkiye and Saudi Arabia all want a stable region.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Friday stressed that countries in the region are finally recognizing that they have collective strength. He added that they need to take responsibility for the fate of the Middle East and not wait for external powers to come and solve their problems. Fidan was probably alluding to regional integration and a new regional security architecture.
We should remember that Europe endured centuries of feuds and two major world wars until its countries realized they were better off cooperating than competing. This is how the EU was born — it is a framework to organize relations between states that ensures security and prosperity for all. As Fidan said, after 100 years, the region has awakened. Its countries have finally realized they need to cooperate.
These three countries have both the soft power and hard power to stabilize the region and lead it into prosperity
