Why not? We are now neighbors.Off topic but I've noticed a sudden influx of Iranians and Turks coming to the Middle East section after Hijaz was banned.

unborn dead child....
good idea but not possible in the middle east.
hahhah well saidMost countries in that list are not able to decide on their own.
Saudi factionWhich ones?
You forgot Egypt, Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia..Yemen...eHi,
I was watching a documentary on the past of Europe before the EU, and it reminded me of the current Middle East. Blood, wars, no sigh of peace and prosperity.
Then I thought.. Why not create a Middle East Union?!
Europe before was just as much divided in to influence goups that seeked their own interests. Then they decided that if they create a union to unite these areas of influence, the big powers would share their influence zones with each other and because all big powers would have all the zones together, that would eliminate regional competition on hostility!
Today in the ME there 3 factions with 3 regional powers;
Turkish faction:
-Northern Cyprus
-Azerbaijan
-Qatar
Iranian faction:
-Iraq

Saudi faction:

-Bahrain
-UAE
Due to economic reasons, it is immensely hard for Saudi Arabia and her faction to join any other faction. They first need to industrialize their economies.
But Iran and Turkey already have somewhat industrialized economies and both have 3 countries in their areas of influence.
A unity between Turkey, Iran, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, Northern Cyprus, Lebanon and Azerbaijan is more than possible!
This possible economic-military union would bring peace and prosperity in the region as sect conflicts between nations would come to a halt due to increased economic and political dependencies of countries on each other due to elimination of tariffs, visa requirements etc.
Then these countries can look for their interests i the world together!
What do you guys think? Shoot away!
I already excluded them if you read the post.Saudi faction
We can start by just eliminating visas and tariffs and a mutual protection agreement.Sounds good but wont happen.
Bare in mind the EU didn't just happen overnight. It started off as the European Steel and Coal Community. And that itself was an expansion of the International Authority of the Ruhr.
There's an organic growth into the EU. A MEU wouldn't have that, and would be beset with problems from the start if the countries had agreed to creating such a union. Plus, there would be so much effort from the West and Israel to undermine and defeat the project it wont go anywhere.
Instead, I think Turkey and Azerbaijan, being the most cooperative countries, should establish a common market and regulatory bodies to oversee economic activity. That alone is a huge step. If they can succeed then you have the groundwork for a future political Union encompassing the greater area. If it's successful and brings about opportunities for growth then other countries will want to join. Slowly over the next half century more regional countries will adapt to meet the standards of this Union and join the Union. This is the most realistic approach.
