Ankara has rather definitely realized that the way to a regional power passes not only through cooperation with regional states and a convenient transit for exporting hydrocarbon, but also through membership in the UNSC. Somehow it so happened that the «five-day war» of Mikhail Saakashvili proved to be most advantageous for Turkey, and, as a result, it can now run for a seat in the UN. The United Nations has been making hardly any decision recently, and even if it made, its decisions were all based on strange interpretations of basic principles of the international law.
