They shouldn't feel entitled to Central-Asia or any other piece of land, sovereign nation, etc. The people of the country get to decide what they will do. Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan can make their own choices. Turkey tried countless times to increase coop with Iran, solve problems but until now Iran has done nothing to return the favor. Instead they are causing more trouble by supporting murderous Assad who killed over 300 000 people. Trying to trick us with transportation fees. Support insurgency throughout the region. If a country is willing to walk over dead bodies "to not loose influence" I'm hoping for the best. For greater coop, which everybody wants, you need sane entities. If it is black and white thinking. You won't have any allies. Iran is a huge destabilizing entity in the middle-east. One should achieve one's goals with non-aggressive competition in the frame work of decency, morals and values. Instead of cooperating as one we have to fight each other because some people can't bare the prosperity of another muslim country and "to not loose influence".
