US, Egypt and Iran wobble as Turkey cleans up

Check out this Roula Khalaf article in the FT about Turkey's ascendant role in the politics and diplomacy of the Middle East: "Ankara pursues lead role in Middle East." This is a very interesting turn for a country which has throughout its modern history turned towards Europe in its foreign relations- hard to say this shift is due to changing mentality in the Turkish gov't or nature simply abhorring a vacuum in the Middle East...

Also, Ive recently been reminded that the FT only allows a certain number of free articles on its website if you're not a subscriber and I'm certain I post more than that number. For the ppl regularly following my links, would it be more convenient if I could try to find other sources where possible? Pls leave any responses in the comments section.
