Turkey will pounce, as well. Russia is the only thing keeping back the new Ottoman Empire.

“Turkey will pounce, as well”

There are ten ethnically Turkic republics within the Russian Federation, who pay more intro the Federation than they receive from it.

[Cronos]

Russia is the only thing keeping back the new Ottoman Empire.

Not quite.

Ottoman empire circa 1914

Turkey may want to grab Syria, but the Iranians won't allow that

The Turks also may want to take Armenia, but more likely just keep it as a vassal state (it provides them no benefits).

Any adventures into Greece or Cyprus would bring it into other countries' spheres of interest.

Furthermore, look at Turkiye's economy under Erdogan

and inflation

Turkey MAY want to get the Caucasian lands, but can they?
