Neither the United States nor the Europe. Merely Turkey will grow

Kıbrıs Ada TV, 1 August 200

Adnan Oktar: For example, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia have a clear approach to Turkey in the recent times. Israel says to Turkey that you have once governed the region with only 10 soldiers and 1 sergeant. But we do not manage this with such huge amount of soldiers. They long for Ottoman period. Syria clearly wants to unite with Turkey. If an official proposal were reached to them, Syria would agree in one week. They are in such a condition. As you know Iraq is like a blood lake. If Turkey takes the lead as a big brother, Iraq will immediately calm down and the problems will be solved basically. They all see this. The delegations coming from Palestine are offering this, demanding this. Turkey’s being the big brother is vital in the region. Since US does not succeed in this, Europe does not succeed, Russia does not succeed. There is emptiness. This emptiness can only be filled with Turkey. This is a faith-based duty filled with humane and moral purposes. Turkey applies for this duty. She will do it as a legacy of Ottoman period. Everybody will see this Insha’Allah.

Nobel Prize-winner economist Joseph Stiglitz stated that, despite the contraction in the EU and the U.S, Turkey's economy could grow.
