There is absolutely no arguing what a vital character he is at this crucial point in time for the region.

rumors of an impending power struggle inside Turkey if Erdogan is unable to continue to effectively lead are going to spread like wildfire.

Perceptions will rule the day and decision will be made based upon both fact and speculation.

The thought of a distracted Turkey is more than desirable to Iran and Syria.

Anything the two of them can do to take advantage of this potential turmoil in Turkey will be considered.

Indecision on Turkey's part at this critical point in time could spell disaster for the Middle East.

This issue of Erdogan's health will need to be watched very carefully over the next few weeks.

A distracted Turkey is a dream come true for Syria and Iran and they will do whatever it takes to help make this happen.
