Lightbulb Turkey-Iran-Pakistan Confederation

Turkey-Iran-Pakistan alliance would suit all three of us perfectly. Though unfortunately with the despicable short-sighted turn coat pos disgraceful government we have this is unlikely for now, but a realistic possibility in the future as the Pakistani youth becomes more aware and politically active.


There is however, some tension between Turkey and Iran. The Turks are in disagreement with Iran's friendship with their enemy Armenia. Pakistan is a Sunni nation and Iran a Shia nation, though current Iranian administration does espouse Muslim unity and brotherhood which is good. Though I believe these differences could be resolved when all states form an alliance and reap the great benefits.


There should be military, technological, economic, educational, space, scientific, and other forms of cooperation between these respective Nations.

The three nations can establish a trilateral council that meets regularly and discusses challenges, issues, plans, and ideas each nation wishes to share and/or enact.

This alliance would become the power house of Asia in fact the Eastern World, and knowing China is a great ally of Pakistan they may also wish to apply for observer status and from time to time cooperate with the three nations.


Though one of these consequences (not necessarily bad) is SCO would loose it's influence and significance because now you would have a Muslim confederation that has become the beacon of power and a movement of reviving Muslim strength and superiority, this would be very inviting for Central Asian states. Instead of them being apart of the SCO which focuses mainly on the interest of China and Russia, the Central Asian Turkic states have a strong kinship and brother with Turkey so there is a great potential and cooperation...

Iran and Turkey can contribute a lot to the confederation, education, military, strategic route, technology, oil and more.

Pakistan's stability would increase, economic boost, scientific, education, travel, military, would all benefit. Pakistan could contribute greatly to the confederation, military cooperation, bring in China's support, large population, nuclear technology cooperation, intelligence sharing after all ISI is one of the best, and more.

Hopefully this great plan will be realized.

Iran to Saudis: Don't forsake Muslim unity

Iran's foreign minister calls on Saudi officials to encourage unity among Muslims amid current tension between the two regional powers.

Manouchehr Mottaki, who embarked on a two-day visit to Riyadh on Sunday, made the remark in a meeting with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah.

During the meeting, King Abdullah thanked Tehran for its role in promoting the Islamic and Arab cause.

Mottaki's comments come just days after Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal caused outrage in Tehran by suggesting that Arab countries should unify and face up to what he called 'the Iranian challenge.'

"In order to cement Arab reconciliation we need a common vision for issues that concern Arab security, especially the Arab-Israeli struggle and how to deal with the Iranian challenge," Prince Faisal said.

In response, Iranian officials urged the Sunni-Arab power not to detach itself from the 'reality' in recognizing regional challenges.

Earlier in his visit, Mottaki also met with Saudi counterpart Prince Saud al-Faisal who, in a change of tune, blamed the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hossein for the problems that the Middle East faces today.

Saud al-Faisal said Saddam had cleared the way for foreign military presence in the region with his incorrect policies, pointing out that subsequent difficulties could only be overcome if regional countries take up a unified stance.

He added that Riyadh was pleased to see Iran utilize its resources for the resolution of regional challenges and assisting Muslim states.

Ahmadinejad urges Muslim unity against enemy

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called on Islamic countries across the world to build a united barrier against the 'enemy plots'.

"Unity and cooperation between Muslim states will thwart the enemy plot to sow discord between Muslims and spread hegemony over them," President Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with President of Djibouti Ismail Omar Guelleh on Tuesday.

President Ahmadinejad added that the tyranny of superpowers is at the root of regional conflicts, urging close relations among Muslim countries in face of foreign efforts to break their spirit of solidarity.

Ismail Omar Guelleh, for his part, hailed Iran's huge leap forward in scientific achievements and called the country 'self-sufficient' in modern technology.

The remarks by Djibouti's president came after Iran on February 3 placed its very own indigenous telecommunications satellite Omid (Hope) into orbit. Omid is designed to transmit data via two frequency bands and eight antennas to an Iranian space station.

At the end of the talks, the foreign ministers of both countries signed five memorandums of understanding on economic cooperation.

President Ahmadinejad arrived in Djibouti at the top of a high-ranking delegation early on Tuesday.

He is now in Kenya on the second leg of his tour to Africa.

President Ahmadinejad and his Kenyan counterpart are expected to begin talks on the bilateral issues and the areas of cooperation during his stay in the country.

Great allaiances need time to develop but we should not stand still. We should revive the old RCD afgreement between the three countries and add to it as the cooperation succeeds. Combined the populations stands at approx. 325 million, almost equal to the US. All three countries have potentials the other can benefit from. It could become a powerhouse in many area's.

Even if we agree to preferentially trade with each other and have a way of recducing taxes to keep price of items down. it would be a good step forward. The problem remains West's perceptions of iran, but we dont need to care too much for that.
