London, (Pal Telegraph) - After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey’s role in the Middle East diminished. In the late 1990s, its role was viewed negatively among the Arab states and Arab Street due to its flourishing relations with Israel. Many joint projects between the two were launched in the industry and water sectors; and, numerous military and tourism deals were conducted. The increased relations and apparent closeness between Israel and Turkey left many in the Arab world disappointed and puzzled.� It was not until a few years ago that both Turkey’s role in the region and the view within the Arab world began to change.� This change coincides with the rise of the AKP to power in Turkey.� For many in the Arab world, the AKP is seen to have more in common with the Arab countries and people than the previous secular governments, which saw Israel as its best ally in the region.
