Abstract (EN)

In this study, the crises of the global powers, their own interests, and their political-military struggles with each other against the background of wars and internal conflicts in the historical process of the Middle East, which have lasted until today in the geography of the Middle East, and the breaking points in the formation of artificial borders of the Middle East countries are discussed. The fact that the Middle East represents an appetizing region in terms of its internal dynamics, religious and geopolitical position has an important place in the historical process as the starting point of many wars and crises. The emergence of religions and Prophets of these religions in this region, the determination of the source of political power with reference to religion, and the perception that the way to be strong is to dominate the region have always made the Middle East the center of attention. The transformation of the Middle East into an open market area with the industrial revolution that emerged in the West, as well as the fact that it contains routes that will provide a transition to a rich region such as India, has also led to political and military crises being common. It has become an indispensable region with the development of the world's oil industry and the discovery of the oil-rich reserves of the Middle East. After the first World War, developments in the war industry and transport increased the severity of military interventions in the region and accelerated the establishment of military bases in the region. Military occupation and interventions in the history of the Middle East have laid the groundwork for the emergence of new problems in the region. The solution to the emerging problems has brought with it new interventions and wars. The fate of the Middle East continues to this day in this vicious cycle. Oligarch-based administrations and dictators supported by the West are creating radical groups in the region that are unstable and ready to explode. Although the Middle East is aware of the reality behind the scenes of the West's politics of marketing democracy to the Middle East, the economic, political, and military inadequacy of the region has left the fate of the people of the region to the conscience of the West.
