Why the Crisis in Yemen Could Tilt Mideast Power From Saudi Arabia Toward Iran, Turkey and Pakistan

[IR-TR]

Your response is self contradicting. Balkan will go to EU...then......... who the F wants Albania..

Yes, parts of Balkan is already part of EU (Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro....Serbia to join soon). But as I said, under the current political makeup(rise of center right & far right parties...) Muslim Balkan won't be able to join EU any time soon. Better option for them would be to work with Turkey and join ECO. Turks in all likelihood will also remain a partner (as Merkel and others opine...) but won't be able to become a full member in EU.

I meant indeed for Turkey etc. Albania isn't important and very small. I guess those 2 muslim nations will get in the EU (Albania and Bosnia). They're very small, Bosnia is mostly secular and I believe Albania too. And yes, they're an integral part of the Balkans. I mean it would impede trade and investments if they're not allowed in. Tiny nations like that will immediately be swallowed up economically and culturally. Which is a good thing from EU perspective.

Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey need to stop procrastinating and restore the tripartite/ECO/northern tier. Only then will the Arabs come to their senses and a new caliphate can be created.

The Arabs are losing grip over their own region. They no longer have the clout they once enjoyed.

Pakistan has undergone considerable change since the last 15 years. People's mentalities have altered and their views of the Gulf countries have changed as well. The sectarianism and war on terror have left a permanent scar in the minds of Pakistanis, not to mention the ill treatment Pakistanis receive from Arabs and how they expect us to join their wars and then threaten us if we don't. Had this been 15 years ago, every Pakistani would have supported Pakistan's military intervention in Yemen. The Ummah concept has been dealt a considerable blow.

I think ummah should be a coalition rather than one country with arabic as the sole language and arabic culture as the culture etc.

That is the goal of Islam, arabization of everyone else.

We can turn this evil plan around by inventing our own alternative ummah, turning it into a union like the EU, an economic and military union.
