UK's observer: "Turkey will come into its own over the next 25 years"

Over the next 25 years, Turkey, with its large, educated population, will grow stronger, and the international balances will change, according to predictions for the next quarter-century published in Sunday's edition of British daily The Observer. "Rivals will take greater risks against the US," predicted the newspaper, adding that the rise of the east will continue. "By 2030, the world will be more complicated, divided between a broad American sphere of influence in Europe, the Middle East and south Asia, and a Chinese sphere in east Asia and Africa," said the paper. "The large, educated populations of Poland, Turkey, Brazil and their neighbours will come into their own."
