WE WENT TOO DEEP DIG
FORMER TURKEY PRIME MINISTER DAVUTOGLU
My search came up with the following where BRIDGE caught my attention:
Turkey's role as an economic BRIDGE for the new world order was the theme of a speech, which was given by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu at the 25th annual CACCI (Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry) Conference
So I searched AHMET DAVUGOGLU who was Turkey Prime Minister until May 2016 and authored a book called
STRATEGIC DEPTH: TURKEY'S INTERNATIONAL POSITION
Strategic Depth
argues that a nation’s value in world politics is predicated on its geo-strategic location and historical depth. Following this logic, Davutoglu explains, Turkey is uniquely endowed both because of its geographic location, particularly its control of the Bosporus, as well as its historical legacy as heir to the Ottoman Empire. While traditional measures of Turkey’s national power tend to overlook the cultural links fostered by a shared common history, Davutoglu emphasizes Turkey’s connections to the Balkans, the Middle East, and even Central Asia. In the same vein, Davutoglu argues that Turkey is the natural heir to the Ottoman Empire that once unified the Muslim world and therefore has the potential to become a “Muslim super power.”

More about DAVUTOGLU'S SPEECH:
The new economic world order requires safe transit routes to the markets of Europe, Davutolu said. Drawing on images of a new silk road Davutolu proclaimed that with the completion of the Marmaray Project, which is a $ 2.5 billion project that will connect Instanbul's Asian and European sides via an UNDERSEA COMMUTER TRAIN LINE, Turkey will connect Beijing to the markets of Europe. The Asia-Pacific region requires safe passage to these markets, which Turkey can make possible. Wherever there is a change, the minister said, Turkey is in the center.

Watch the water?
DAVUTOGLU AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
Davutoğlu's foreign policy has also been referred to as a Muslim Brotherhood-inspired transnationalism, for example by Republican People's Party MP Aykut Erdemir.[37] Since the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood-supported President of Egypt Mohamed Mursi in 2013, Turkey has been seen as the Brotherhood's last friendly country within the region. The advocation of Islamic democracy by the Brotherhood as well as the AKP provides a means of Davutoğlu to expand Turkey's regional influence using Islam as a common heritage that unites Middle-Eastern nations together. Turkish business opportunities for Brotherhood officials, as well as alleged funding and supplies of arms have been documented and have come to light primarily after the arrest of a Turkish intelligence officer, Irshad Hoz, in Egypt.[38] Istanbul hosted two meetings of the Muslim Brotherhood after the 2013 Egyptian military coup, for which Davutoğlu faced criticism for hosting since it would damage ties with the new regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Qatar expelled leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2014, leaving Turkey as the organisation's only major supporter. The expulsion caused speculation as to whether Davutoğlu's government would offer them asylum.[39][40]
