There is no country other than Turkey that could play a more important role in Afghanistan

Adnan Oktar: America has realized that they would not be able to finalize this job. This is not something they could do. Europe can’t, they avoid it. Iraq can’t do it by itself, it would break into pieces and as a result civil wars and anarchy could break out. The problem between Palestine and Israel would not be solved as well. Insha’Allah the only solution is to accept Turkey as the elder brother of the region. They will say that we offer you to be the elder brother. That’s it, but officially. For example, if Turkey made an offer to Azerbaijan for the unification of Turkey and Azerbaijan as ‘two states and one nation’, they would accept it within 48 hours. If they don’t, come and see me. They would immediately accept the offer. They already want it. They just wait for Turkey to come with the proposal. Let’s go to Syria and offer this to them, for Syria to officially unite with Turkey. Two Muslim states. But Iraq would also accept uniting with Turkey if offered. Because it is to their advantage. Peace, justice and harmony will come, economy will be revived and they will become super states… Turkish army is greeted with love and applauses wherever they go. Turkish soldiers are very brave, decent and fair.  They are loved all over the world. It is so in Afghanistan or in Somali or Bosnia. They are loved everywhere. Why? Because they are very scrupulous, respected, just and well-mannered. And very very conscientious. They possess a kind of parent affection. And they act in a very reasonable way. They don’t let themselves to be carried with the wind. They are conservative. Everyone accepts the fact that management of the region could be best realized with Turkey acting as the elder brother.

Richard Holbrooke, Special Representative of America for Pakistan and Afghanistan, noted the importance of the role played by Turkey in Afghanistan and said that he is very fortunate to be able to know the leadership of Turkey closely. Holbrooke who stated that they are in constant communion with Turkish officials about Afghanistan and Pakistan said, “There is no other country than Turkey in the ISAF region that could play a more important role in Afghanistan.”
