Lebanese media is circulating information on Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Lebanon as well as Hezbollah leader
Hassan Nasrallah's return visit to Ankara.
Shahan Kandaharian, the Editor-in-Chief of Aztag Beirut-based daily
newspaper believes a struggle for Middle East leadership and zone of
influence is in progress, with rivalry preserved despite increasing
closeness in positions of Turkey and Arabic world. "On the background
of rivalry, Iran, along with the states supporting it, realizes
Turkey to be active NATO member as well as strategic partner of US
and Israel. At least it was, so far," Shahan Kandaharian stated.
