Abstract

           The Middle East has been and continues to be the most influential environment in Turkey for formulating its foreign policy strategy, and Turkey's ability to maintain elements of power regionally is achieved through the creation of a comprehensive strategic vision that reflects its interests and security. This strategic vision, although some amendments have been made to it due to the changes that occur, but it is the basic principle of its overall movement in the Middle East for the coming years . This is because the state's ability to act as a regional actor in its sphere of influence continues to be affected by a range of variables, such as the Middle East, which require it to prepare and adapt to achieve a strategic vision that reflects its security requirements and interests . Indeed, Turkey has managed to maintain its regional role in the Middle East by developing a strategic vision commensurate with its potential and capabilities . Turkey has followed specific strategies as required by the Turkish interest, sometimes using soft power and other times to achieve regional and international balance through integration with the issues required by the current stage. Indeed, Türkiye was able to maintain its regional role in the Middle East by developing a strategic vision commensurate with its capabilities and capabilities. Turkey followed specific strategies according to what was required by the Turkish interest, sometimes by using soft power and at other times to achieve regional and international balance by integrating with the issues required by the current stage.
