In Lebanon Prime Minister Erdogan proposed a Middle Eastern 'Schengen Area'

Kuşadası TV, 14 July 2008

Adnan Oktar: If Konya, Izmir, Adana – May Allah forbid- were separate from us and we said “we are brothers, how can such a thing happen. We should come together.” And if someone said “That is a utopia, could this ever happen, there is no such a thing, they are separate”; is there any reason in that? No. Similarly, there is no reason in our being separate from Turkic countries. We have the same religion, same language and same race. We are all the same. Our culture, our grannies, our customs…There is no reason for separation. Therefore, passports have to be removed among Turkic countries and Islamic countries; visas have to be abolished, as well. People should come and go as they please. BUSINESS SHOULD BE AT EASE, CONNECTIONS AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, WHY NOT IN TURKISH ISLAMIC UNION? IN THE EUROPEAN UNION PEOPLE GO TO THE COUNTRY THEY WANT AND SETTLE DOWN. THEY DON’T USE PASSPORT OR VISAS. SO, WHY DO WE, THE BROTHERS, NOT DO THIS?
