Is Turkey a Powerful Country?

Turkey is the strongest country in the Middle East.

Turkey has a land area of 780,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 88 million. The land of the whole country is combined with population, natural resources, location and economic strength, and its comprehensive national strength is second to none in the Middle East.

Even better than Iran, this is very certain. This is also the main reason why Turkey can attack everywhere in the Middle East, invade Iraq, Syria and Libya at will, and interfere in Caucasus, Afghanistan and Lebanon. It also has strong national strength support.

At present, Turkey is equipped with about 1000 military aircraft in the air, including about 200 fighters, mainly F- 16 and other fourth-generation aircraft.

The power of Turkey

Turkey's military strength should be relatively strong in the world. At present, Turkey has the largest number of armed forces among NATO members except the United States, but most of its equipment depends on imports and its industrial manufacturing capacity is not strong.

As a world-class power, it must be able to manufacture and export industrial products on a large scale, and Turkey does not have this ability now, so it is not a world-class power.

Turkey and Germany are traditional allies in history. The two countries have been allied since the middle of19th century. The alliance between the two countries was dissolved after the defeat of World War I, but the relationship between Germany and Turkey has always been very friendly. Especially after the end of World War II, Germany, which is in urgent need of a large number of labor, is the country that provides the most labor to Germany. Now most of the descendants of these workers have stayed in Germany. Germany has the largest Turkish population except Turkey, which makes the relationship between the two countries very close.
