Mr. Adnan Oktar, highlighting the importance of the brotherhood of Kurds, Turks, Circassians, Laz, Armenians for many years, explains that people from every race in Turkey are Turkish and it would be obvious, when genetically surveyed, that there is no concept called a "pure race." Indeed, Turkey's Prime Minister Davutoglu made a similar statement: "Each race that has lived on this land for centuries is national. Being national is not about genetics, but about mind-set and about demonstrating commitment for this land." May 5th 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Kurds will be everywhere, in the air, on land, in the sea, in the street. The Laz are such nice people. A colour. For instance, Albanians are admirable. Why are you annoyed? For instance, Turkmens are distinctly nice, and all of them has a different colour. Love and respect each one individually. They want to divide the Turkish-Islamic Union and pose an obstacle against the Islamic Union in the Southeast Region. We will not let that happen. There Is Nothing Called A Pure Race. Racism is immoral, and appreciating people according to their race is dishonesty. All people are blessed and they are descendants of Prophet Adam and Eve. Almighty God made them different so as to create a beauty. April 19th 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: If you consider this land as your country and the state as your state, then, you should be aware of that your state has a ruling, a constitution. “Everyone bound to the Turkish state through the bond of citizenship is a Turk.” So what does that mean? We are brothers and sisters. The ruling states that no matter whatever happens, whether Armenians, Kurds, Laz, and Turks, no matter who he is, we should call them Turks and live together. This is nice. It is denominated as such. In the genetic sense, a majority of them are not Turks. There is already no way to find a pure Turk, but Turks are in the majority in this region and certainly, there are many Turks in Turkey. However, there are many Kurds, Laz as well; therefore, there is no reference to race. It is a name. God denominated it as such. The name of Turk was chosen. There is not a superiority in terms of genetics and race there. Not at all. April 4th 2014: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Our Kurdish brothers, Laz brothers, we have come together under the name of Turk. It is called as such, in other words, the merging is called being Turk. This is not about superiority in terms of genetics and genetics code. We call Turks, Circassians, Laz, Zazas, all of them, Turks. There could be any other name, but it was chosen so by Almighty God; that is the point. December 4th 2013: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: All of Turkey is like a province, and we are brothers and sisters. There is a family in Turkey. A single family, and a single room. We live as a family. If it were according to genetic code, let them make a study and see; you can not find a single pure Kurd there. They are mixed with Arabs, Assyrians, Armenians, Jews, and Turks; there, you can find any people from any race and genetic code. September 30th 2013: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Loving people according to their race is a terrible thing. In other words, not holding people other than Kurdish or Turkish in esteem is terrible; meanwhile you cannot find a pure Turk any way. They cannot find a pure Kurd, there is not such a thing. They are either of Arabic origin, Assyrian origin or are from another region, and most of them are of Persian origin. There are some of those of Pakistani origin. Many people migrated there, and there is no such a thing as purity. Their language is Kurdish, but you cannot find a pure “Kurdish” in terms of genetics. Like there is not a pure “Turkish”. For instance, there is no pure race of Laz. There are a variety of people from every race and from every nation in terms of genetic code. In the end, all of them are related to Prophet Adam. In other words, we all have a single father, insha’Allah. |
