"Turkey and Iran are not fierce rivals but competitors" in the Middle East, says Nader. "[This] doesn't mean that the competition will turn into outright rivalry, but it could produce a lot of tension, especially if Assad falls and Iran views Turkey as abetting his downfall."
"Turska i Iran nisu žestoki suparnici, nego konkurenti" na Bliskom istoku, kaže Nader. "[To] ne znači da će se konkurencija pretvoriti u otvoreno suparništvo, ali bi mogla proizvesti puno napetosti, posebice ako Assad padne i Iran bude smatrao da je Turska pomogla njegov pad."
