Turkey, Iran & Pakistan Economic Union

[Nomad16]

Thanks brother, as the old saying goes Turks and Turkic people and Pakistanis are eternal brothers.

yes we are

akistani girls will give you heart burn. They cook with too many spices. However our Northern Areas we cook with little spice and the cuisine is similar to our Turkish bros. But they look great hahahaha.

well it's worth to try it btw i see pic of pakistani girls they are awesome

From Karachi port will be more difficult just because of the sheer congestion there now. We have our Baluchistan region and you also have the deep sear port of Gwader. This region has natural links to Central Asia and would be far better. I completely agree with you about trade and how great it would be. Sadly we need the leadership here.
How are things in turkmenistan? You always here about your bigger cousins e.g. the Uzbeks, Kazakhs etc

well we are suffering none unity and very bad isolation and we need your and turkish brothers help to get out of it

Sounds cool, but will never happen.

And I mean no offence, but I very much doubt Iran will ever again commit to a big economic project with Pakistan. After Iran spent huge amount of money and work to build the gas pipeline, but Pakistan didnt reciprocate and the project is cancelled forever. This would have been huge strategic game changer that would have benefited both Iran and Pakistan.
All that money and work gone to waste, and that will affect future consideration of any more economic "projects)

Ha! We have to find you a Pakistani wife. Maybe arrange some blind dates for you.

What the hell is wrong with other "stan" countries? Oh my god I didn't know this.

Well Pakistan has strong links with Turkmenistan and the Turks are literally taking off economy wise and you know how close they are to us. So this looks like the way forward.

Sorry to say but we have probably the worst rulers in the region, hence the above.

I agree and it is unfortunate.

True.

If the union does happen, the Pakistani politicians will sign off their retirement benefits with SA. Not happening for the next 100 years, till SA exists.

It is practically not possible. There are a lot of complications that govern an economic union especially in these three countries. Firstly, Turkey is a NATO country aspiring to be a part of EU, both of which have imposed severe sanctions on Iran and despite the latest thaw, continue to keep a tight chain around Iranians. This means that Turks even for economic reasons cannot be involved in full force with the Iranians even if they could do the same with you because their obligations towards their alliances and the pressure from other countries might push them to not open up to the full potential.

Secondly, Iranians on their part are extremely independent. They enjoy taking the role of leadership and do not like being dictated into doing something whether it is financial or economic or military; their fierce independence in these matters might pose a problem.

Thirdly, the disparity factor comes into play. Turkey is the most industrialized country and also the richest among the grouping. Its economic power comes from its massive trade with the EU and the Middle East, heavy focus on industrialization, free market economy, ease of doing business and a culture that is highly open to innovation, invention and different thought. It is also politically a highly trusted entity around the world and is looked at as a reliable partner in terms of economic and trade factors.

Though Iran is also a reasonably prosperous country with oil wealth and a desire to be strongly industrialized, its limiting factor is its opaque business competitiveness policy, its industrial capability is little known outside Iran or perhaps the Middle East, Its exports are regionally limited apart from oil and it has every single industrial powerhouse country (except China and Russia) breathing down on its neck. Pakistan, in contrast, is the least developed in the grouping, suffering from acute financial, political and national security related problems. Terrorism, imbalance in the government-military equation, very little focus on industrial development of the country, no indigenous production of strategic commercial heavy platforms, severe power woes, limited export industry other than agriculture and textiles... these are some of the key problems.

Pakistan's GCI ranking is much better than our own country, but we are talking about an economic union that involves in highly diverse countries with varying geopolitical problems.

Compare this to the Eurasian Union which mainly involves in Russian speaking countries either officially or as native languages. These countries have the same or at least similar economic models, business investment approach, currency ratings, education base, linguistic and cultural base to a large extent, all being ex-Soviet or Soviet-allied states of the yore. Despite corruption, there is no threat of terrorism, mass riots and attacks from anywhere, which allows a strong possibility of a dominating common and stable currency; most likely named something like the Eurasian Ruble.


A Turkey-Iran-Pakistan economic union maybe not possible in this decade at least.
