One problem, Mehmet: Your country has no natural resources that will carry it forward towards being the greatest of all nations. Greatness of a nation can be considered subjective, but in truth, it's not. It's measured by the power it wields in the world. People hate to admit it but America is the "greatest" nation in the world because it is the hub of the world's commerce, it is the base of the world's most powerful military force, and it is the bastion of the largest output of culture. Regardless of whether or not you call the culture good or bad, the dominant culture, the most pervasive one, is the "greatest."
Am I saying Turkey is NOT a great nation? Hell no, far from it. It has attracted a large swath of investment and its economy is on the rise. Its development is great. But in comparison to nations such as China, Japan, Morocco, Norway, it is not rising nearly as fast. It doesn't even register as a blip on the technological innovations or scientific innovations scales which are the largest driving influences behind civilization [and likely soon to be the largest driving influence behind bio-engineered crops and energy in the global market] where the US still to this day reigns supreme despite our ultraconservative population fighting tooth and nail to hinder that.
Striving towards that goal? Noble. Claiming to know you will succeed because of a platitude-like prophecy? Quaint...and naive. You are pretty much saying you will succeed because someone said that heritage is all you need. Yeah, that's some REAL modern-thinking. Your heritage and OUTSIDE INVESTMENT. Turkey's strength will not come exclusively from within. It will come from without. It already is.
Globalization. Get used to the idea of it.
