Turkey is a separate power. In the current Qatar crises, it is with Qatar much to the anger of Saudi.

Why is it with Iran ?

Why is it with Iran ?

It is not with Iran, although in the specific context of Qatar both Iran and Turkey seem to be on the same page. However Turkey is a third power in the Mid-East, independent of both Saudi and Iran. Qatar has been an ally of Turkey for a while now, and Turkey is establishing military bases in the country. Saudi does not like this as it sees the GCC as it own zone of influence.

But shouldn't turkey oppose Qatar because Qatar has financed terrorism ( as proved by recent proofs ) ?

Turkey is neither with Iran nor with Saudia; their stand is for justice and against religious sectarianism.

I don't know what proof you're talking about. Turkey said they would be first to oppose Qatar if Qatar is involved in financing terrorism but they don't see the case.

What recent proof? And if you want to go down that route then Saudi has financed just as much if not even more "terrorism" than Qatar. Terror financing is just a facade, the real issue is Qatar maintaining an independent foreign policy which is running contrary to their neighbors.

Ok

ME is really messy. Just few months ago Egypt and Saudi are near act of war with Saudi cut off oil and money to Egypt. Then suddenly, Saudi and Egypt become good friend again and pit against Qatar.

You can never understand Arabs.

Any Turkish relationships between Qatar and Iran is strategic, any with Saudi is tactical.

Turkey is with Qatar...historically has had good relations with the Al Thani family, dating back to the Ottomans. This relationship is strategic as it counters countries Iran and KSA.

With Iran, Turkey has a massive & border fairly stable border that has not changed for decades, good trade relations and long history of conflicts which both countries understand is not beneficial to anyone. Why would Turkey and/or Iran directly oppose each other over Saudi and risk any sort of conflict that would weaken them both.

As for Saudi, Turkey realises it will not be around in the next 100 years, hell even 50 - 20 years it might be gone, they do have a vision for 2030 after all. If you can milk them great, if not you lose nothing.

Turkey is no holy cow. It itself supported Terrorism in Syria and Iraq for so long.

What terrorists? who's?

It is nothing new that Syria, Iraq and Iran has been supporting PKK against Turkey for decades.

Erdogan likes to think Turkey is a 3rd power
