              It's never going to happen.  Turkiye would give us another (probably US backed) genocide in the Middle East before they let that happen.
Even with proven oil reserves in those regions, the lack of access to the world's oceans is going to hurt that country.  For all of the modern advancements in the world, trade still goes by boat.  Land locked countries face issues with moving goods into and out of the country, which usually adds costs and makes goods from that country less competitive.  With almost certain poor relations with Turkiye, Iraq and Syria, this new country would be trying to move goods though Iran, which is just a bad plan.  Or, some combination of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia.  Again, if none of that sounds promising, it's because it isn't.  They would be far better off to give up some land further north and try to get connected to the Mediterranean Sea.
