Seems like Turkey is so interested in these failed states, as you can see Turkey's current policy resulted in massive failure in both Syria and Iraq with both states being hostile to them, what could that develop to?
At this point 'usefulness' is a luxury in this situation for Turkey, they're thinking of survival and security now given where things have been heading. You can call Iraq and Syria failed all you want but their armies are winning and Turkey's plan has failed in both these states, Barzanistan isn't doing well either whilst the PKK is growing. GCC doesn't border Syria, they won't be affected as much. You tell me what Turkey has achieved, a PKK with US support that controls a large part of their border, a hostile iraq (even iraq's Turkmens are against the Turkish gov) and bad relations with the US.
What armies are you talking about ? Russia and American Air-Forces is what kept whats remaining of defunct Syrian state away from opposing forces .
As Russia cant handle war fees for an indefinite time and fight all the opposing forces thats why it accepted Turkey entering Syria and creating its own sphere of influence in Northern Aleppo . Russia is looking for an exit strategy in this War where it can retain its main interests in Syria at the minimum financial cost possible .
Both the Iraq and Syrian armies/militias are a complete failure and incompetent without American/Russian Air-cover . This can be seen in failure of Iraqi Army in mosul and Syrian Army around palmyra .
Turkey is simply negotiating with your masters , in the case of Syria its Russia . When it comes to Iraq maintaining good ties with KRJ is more than enough since they dominate northern Iraq which Turkey borders .
Dealing with the unreliable corrupted government in Baghdad will not help Turkey in any shape , they cant even control their militias .
