Turkey to spread its influence in central Asia

Some Turkish political analysts consider that Turkey should forge stronger links to the Central Asian countries, so called Turkish language countries, through Azerbaijan. According to such opinion, the US, Russia and China are confronting each other in the region in an attempt to attract energy sources for their own interests. So, Turkey should try to interfere in these disputes via Azerbaijan. It was also suggested that the union of Turk language countries should be established and encouraged.
