摘要：The purpose of this article aims to highlight the role that north south axis, composed by the Arctic Ocean and the turcophone space, could play in achieving an efficient frame of the Heartland area. Achieving such an initiative would dramatically change the strategic vision and would tilt the balance of power on the Euro Atlantic democracy side, making an enormous pressure on Russia, Republic of China and Islamic Republic of Iran. But that potential success is conditioned both by the prospect of opening an Arctic circumterestrial ro ute, to link Western Europe to the Far East by sea, and the forming of a turcophone union, with the EU and NATO support, to create a cohesive regional structure from Eastern Europe to Central Asia.
