The Daily Sabah pro -government newspaper, published today (17.07.2025) an article that deals with the possible alliance and creation of a strong block between Turkey and Spain, thus showing Ankara’s big plans under Erdogan’s regime for “Blue Homeland” and its sovereignty in Mediterraneancreating strong allies.
Turkey, after today’s post, seems to is not limited only to the Eastern Mediterranean. Referring to the policy of Greece, France and Israel, which are “aimed at preventing the balance of power in the Mediterranean”, Ankara envisions the conclusion of partnerships with the western Mediterranean countries, focusing on Spain to secure a “”hegemony»And limit the above ‘trilateral block».
«The Mediterranean basin has always been of enormous geopolitical significance as a crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia.
In the near future, the emergence of a new Mediterranean -centered power block, which will oppose the neo -colonial agenda of the West is able to radically disrupted the existing global balance of forces.
This emerging alliance has all the basic assets: Water, food, energy, defense, commercial routes and tourism, required for self -sufficiency, without relying on external forces. Before we explain the Possible Turkey-Spanish block As an alliance focused on the Mediterranean, it is important to first outline the current geopolitical landscape, “the Daily Sabah report said first.
Deadlock in the Eastern Mediterranean
According to Daily Sabbah’s report: ‘Since 2025, the Eastern Mediterranean has become one of the most intense competition fields in terms energy, defense and diplomatic influence. The maritime delimitation agreement signed between Turkey and Libya has become one of the main pillars of Turkey’s strategy for “Blue“This move has significantly disturbed the map of maritime domination that Greece, the Greek Cypriot administration, Israel and France were trying to create in the region.
The Economic Zone Agreement (EEZ) Turkey – Libyasigned on November 27, 2019, redefined Marine jurisdictions in the Eastern Mediterranean and served as a strategic agreement that legalized Turkey’s energy and political movements in the region. In fact, it includes so much maritime delimitation as well as defense cooperation.
In addition, the emergence of new land safety agreements between Turkey and Syria and the possibility of a future EEZ agreement in this direction expands Turkey’s diplomatic scope and proves its increasing energy and defensive potential, Turkey Significant Power in the Mediterranean.
Meantime, Greece, France and Israel have acted together for Turkey’s surroundings in the Eastern Mediterraneanclaiming maximalist maritime claims and proposing the EastMed pipeline with the Greek Cypriot administration. France proceeded to active drilling through its energy companies and created military bases while Greece reinforced its defensive lines around the Aegean and Crete and signed agreements with Egypt.
Israel sought energy diplomacy with Greece and Greek Cypriots through gas export plans from the “Leviathan” and “Tamar” deposits in Europe. Has also been included in security alliances that they exclude Turkey. This tripartite blocks has developed political, military and energy cooperation with Aiming to prevent a balance of power in the Mediterranean Focusing on Turkey.
However, while countries such as Greece and France give priority In their own interests In such alliances, the Turkish Republic has offered more attractive, mutually beneficial proposals to its partners. This has made Turkish Republic a one More strategic, attractive and reliable ally in both financial and defense sector.
This dynamic reinforces Turkey and its partners throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and at the intersection of Asia, Europe and Africa. In addition, in her corridor MediterraneanTurkey is working with Albania and Montenegro on maritime defense initiatives. Expanding this view, the deepening of Turkey’s partnerships with Qatar, Pakistan and Azerbaijan highlights the remarkable progress on its commercial and defense industrial path.
This is the current situation. So what should be done below for further neutralization of the shaft Greece – France – Israelwhich is threat For security in the area with the West support? The answer lies in the partnerships between Iberian and Magreb. “
Possible alliance and regional hegemony in the Mediterranean
The newspaper, following her article, deals with Turkey’s fantasy for one regional hegemony in the Mediterranean, from Gibraltar to SyriaEmphasizing: “Spain, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has been marginalized by the West for its peaceful and just attitude in the Gaza Genocide. At the same time, The US has suggested to NATO countries to increase their defensive budget to 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP), a move widely regarded as tactic for the financial weakening of EU states and their coercion buying American weapons.
Sanchez rejected This request, constituting it leader which crossed this “red line”, which led to reactions from the US and its growing isolation within the EU.
Spain is an extremely fertile country with huge territory and mineral wealth, strong tourist potential and important trade routes. It has deep economic and cultural relations with Portugal and Morocco and has a significant influence in both countries. This trinity is shaping a growing strategic bloc focusing on renewable energy, immigration, sea security and trade.
In the coming period, the synergy between the emerging “iberomarocaric” structure of Spain and Turkey’s Mediterranean partnerships will lead to one Strong form of Mediterranean domination. If Spain, Portugal and Morocco join the current cooperation of Turkey, especially with Libya, Syria, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Algeria, Tunisia, Albania, Montenegro and other agents, will result in a strong marine axis with the ability to consolidate the regional hegemony in the Mediterranean.
This “block” will work as passageway For trade, defense and energy from America to Europe, Africa and Asia, undermining West colonial practices, economic sanctions and destabilizing hegemony. Middle East and Mediterranean nations would benefit from increased security and economic growth. With fertile territories, vital commercial roads, strong energy resources and a tourist vision, this alliance, which unites the two ends of the Mediterranean, could soon become stronger than the existing EU.
OR Chinawhich opposes the US hegemony, would probably also support this block from the background.
This coalition could bring a lot profitably works. For example, the completion of supply chains from North Africa to Europe and Asia could be achieved by linking Turkey’s initiative to the average corridor with the port of Morocco’s Tanger – Med and the Algeciras port of Spain.
Tanger-Med is the largest port of container in Africa and Algeciras serves as a gateway to Europe. Turkey’s ports in Mersina, Smyrna and Filio serve as gates to Central Asia and China. This route would promote the Safe and independent economic growthfree from western control.
In addition, the military potential of Spain and Turkey, along with allies such as Pakistan, contribute to a major strategic presence. “
‘Block’ of cooperation
About Turkish -based relations and the common cruise line in terms of Israel and Hamas war in Gaza: ‘Turkey and Spain are friendly nations and allies in many areas. Specifically, during the war in Gaza, they stood against the West, condemned genocide and recognized Palestine as a state.
Palestine is believed to have unconfirmed oil and gas reserves, while its strategic position along the Mediterranean coast increases its geopolitical significance. It is widely accepted that the actual motivation behind the genocide, supported by the West and the US, It’s not just ideologicalbut also guided by the desire to control these valuable territories and the unused resources.
With the international recognition of the Palestinian state entity gaining ground, energy exploration is expected to begin in the near future. At the same time they are likely to follow Defense Cooperation Initiatives. As regional dynamic evolves, Palestine is ready to aligned with Turkey and join the emerging anti -Semitic bloc that challenges the axis of aggression supported by the West. This will significantly release the Mediterranean domination from the vise of colonial forces.
Recently, the Israeli Prime Minister said: “We will not allow the Ottoman return“It was not only referring to Turkey’s presence in Syria or the Middle East. It showed Ottoman rule in the Eastern Mediterranean. Historically, power in this region always passed through the Mediterranean.
This rich Mediterranean basin, at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia, was always vital. In the near future, the emergence of a new Mediterranean -centered block, opposed to the “neo -colonial” mission of the West, could shift the current global power equation.
Such a compound, which will be formed by Turkey and Spain by combining them their defensive, energy and commercial partnershipscould be a strong alliance. Because this block will consist of geographical nearby nations, it would grow more efficiently and quickly than distant groups, such as BRICS. “
