Report: Turkey to become more prominent in 2030

The European Union’s Global Trends 2030 report says Turkey will play an even more influential role in the international community in 2030. According to the Global Trends 2030 report, Turkey, along with several other middle powers, will become even more prominent. The European Commission explored the "long-term trends on major policy issues facing the EU" as a pilot project and released the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) report. The report highlights by 2030 there will be a multi-polar world and no country will be able to dominate individually. On Turkey, the report finds: "Turkey has been a middle power for most of the last two centuries, and its elites and people are confident about the country’s global and regional position. Current trends suggest Turkey will maintain and even bolster its status as a middle power in demographic, economic, territorial and military terms."
