Trabzon TV, 4 September 2008 Reporter: Yes. What do you think of our recent rapprochement with Syria? Kon TV, 31 August 2008 The Gulf Today, 2 November 2008 Adnan Oktar: A Turkish-Islamic Union under Turkish leadership will come into being, insha’Allah, with the unification of the Turkic states and the assistance of the Turkish Union. THIS WILL BE UNDER TURKISH LEADERSHIP, and we are already moving in that direction. The ideal state of affairs is for Turkey to be its leader. … This has long been a duty incumbent upon Turkey. Turkey has always assumed the effective leadership of the Turkish-Islamic world. IT MAKES THIS FELT EVERYWHERE. IT ACTS AS AN OLDER BROTHER EVERYWHERE, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. For example, Turkey became involved in the establishment of the Caucasian Alliance. |
