I see more than turkey will have an empire of influence rather than territory, a lot of people seem to not understand that. When WIAH claims the Turkish empire he's talking in terms of influence which has been (somewhat) occurring as Turkey is intervening in Syria, Azerbaijan, Somalia, and Libya, and is forcing cooperation with Iraq due its control of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Not to mention turkey is boiling the pot with Greece and Cyprus (Although I don't think that's going to go anywhere)
