Balance of Power is truly shifting, but you are miscalculating the very fundamental fact that is for the which side it is shifting...
Like it or not we are dominating the region for almost 1000 years under the names of different states, and till there will be a true Arabic Union by all means " which takes another 1000 years" we will continue dominating the region for our own interests.
Let's get used to it, and continue living in peace and harmony...
The only thing that Turkey can dominate are tiny countries like Cyprus, beyond that you are only capable of farting. Try to actually dominate the whole region, and not only you will not manage to do this but as a result you will lose half of Turkey to a newly founded Kurdish state.
Hopefully mainstream Kurds are still feeling themselves as an integral part of the Republic, otherwise they would already manage to take their part of the country with %18 percent of total population. I am saying 18 percent, reminds you anything?!!?
On the other hand, Half of the population in Turkey (including my ancestors) were the people busted out of Balkans, Crimea, Adyghe and rest of the empire in bag and baggage... Those people paid the price of being "a Turk" and as you can guess we are nothing left to lose!!
I am not dreaming to take back the vineyard,dairy and farm in Alushta that Ukrainians stole from my family. I would suggest you to do samething about the United Cyprus fairy-tale.
The Kurds have been living in their homeland long before the Turks invaded and took their lands. Reminds you of something?
And when have the Turks been in Crimea? The first major cities there were founded by Greeks, the Turks came much much later as invaders. What you had there was never yours, you stole it, and rightfully you lost it later on. The same will happen to you in Cyprus since the north part of Cyprus does not belong to you and it will never belong to you no matter for how long you illegally occupy it.
I am sure at the height of the Ottoman Empire when you were thinking of yourselves not just as a regional but as a world power, you couldn't have imagined of losing what you stole, just like now you can't imagine of losing what you stole from us in Cyprus. But be certain that the time will come because we will never accept your illegal occupation of our lands and sooner or later the balance of power will shift and we will take our lands back either you like it or not.
