“…The only way Turkey is to supplement its political influence in the region is by pursuing geoeconomics as a key driver of its foreign policy towards Albania and other Albanians' dominated territories.

Geopolitics is often used in reference to the use of geography in determining and shaping the international relations/foreign policy agenda of individual nation states. According to the proponents of the concept of geopolitics, political predominance in the international political system is not just a question of the general power and human resources at a country's disposal, but also of the geographical undertones within which a particular country exercises its available chunks of power. The rise of geoeconomics as an eminent replacement to geopolitics even becomes more significant in place of Turkey owing to its geopolitical position. The country is strategically surrounded by Europe, Asia, the Middle East and former Soviet states. The dynamics provided by the geopolitical position Turkey ushered in increased calls for the country to take up an active role in its foreign policy endeavors, and with it, a utilization of geoeconomics as a formidable strategy to push for Turkey's agenda in the Balkan region, especially Albania. Based on the geoeconomic and geocultural conception of the Balkan region, Davutoglu, the architect of new Turkish foreign policy, contents that the only way Balkan states can maintain their strategic importance is by reestablishing their success through intensive political dialogues and pursuing integrated economic policies. These are the endeavors of a country keen on utilizing economic values and principles to cement its political power in the Balkan region, and supplement its political influence over Albanian territories.

“…William Hale observes, in turn, that "the idea of a Turkic world, from the Adriatic to the Great Wall of China", became a "new subject of discussion in the Turkish political circles and in the media". 53 Turkey aspires to become "the new energy center in the region", a key state in the transit of oil and gas, "connecting Europe, the Caspian region, the Middle East and the Mediterranean". 54 In fact, Turkey plays an increasingly important role regarding oil transit, being strategically located at the crossroads between Central Asian Republics, rich in energy resources, the Middle East and the European consumption centers.…”
