He has big plans but ultimately all that he is going to accomplish is reverting Turkey into a backward Islamic cesspool (the parts of which that aren't already). I don't think the other Turkish republics are going to embrace his ambitions. I don't think Turkey can build strategic relations with the Arabs mainly as they hate each other, Syria has territorial claim from Turkey and Iraq has claim on the water that the Turks rob from them.
But the Iran-Turkey alliance makes sense sort of.
