Abstract :
Abstract Turkey is having an important geographical and political position in the Middle East and has great influence on political developments of this region. Since coming into power of Justice and Development Party (AKP) Turkey has tried to have a more important place in the political development of the Middle East. Turkey by having a legacy of last Islamic Empire has tried to revive its influence in the Islamic World. In this direction in recent years Turkey has introduced herself as a successful political and economic model to the Islamic World and the Middle Eastern countries. The initial years of success in democracy, economic development, political stability and playing the role of a mediator in regional conflicts had been index of Turkey's model but in later stage successive failure occurred. The internal problems that Turkey is facing along with regional and international problems in political and economic fields showed that the Turkish model does not have the former attraction and in practice has failed.
