Ayyoub Kara, the Israeli Deputy Minister of Public Works: Turkey could be the leader of the world

Kaçkar TV, February 2nd, 2008

The deputy Minister said that ‘Turkey can be the leader of not only the region, but the whole world’.  And he added that Erdogan is the greatest statesman after Ataturk.’ Before Turkey and Israel enjoyed very good relations, and these two countries should pick up where they left off. Turkey and Israel are not dangerous for each other. Turkey is one of the most democratic and liberal countries in the region. We should not be fooled by radical policies or words. The Israeli Vice Prime Minister Saul Mofaz called Turkey a superpower. I know that Turkey is a superpower and I don’t settle for saying that only. As long as Turkey continues like this, it will be the leader of the world, not only the region. Turkey has this potential. I am of Turkish origin, too. My family has a Turkish history of 500 years. Anyway, my name is Ayyoub Kara. You know the meaning of Kara. It is a Turkish word and means black. ”
