Adnan Oktar: If Muslims don’ttalk about unity insistently, then; they wouldn’t be in arighteous position. Because unity is our religious obligation (fard) whereas disunion is unlawful (haram).  The Muslims are disunited; they have already committed that unlawful act. They will, first of all, stop committing that unlawful act.I mean, they will unite. They ask; “Why don’t Arabs unite and help our Palestinian brothers?” Well dear brother; aren’t you a Muslim yourself? For instance; a Turk, an Iranian, a Pakistani are all Muslims. Why do the Arabs have to unite and save the Palestinians? Actually; Muslims have to unite and save Palestine. It is Turkey who can accomplish this - Turkey’s leadership and the Turkish-Islamic Union…The Turkish nation is convenient; that is, it is extremely resolute and hasexperience in this respect.

Prime Minister RecepTayyipErdogan said:  “We will say, ‘We are brothers” but, on the other hand, we put barriers betweenus. This is utterly unacceptable. Indeed, today we will eliminate the distances. We are putting an end to a hundred years of longing. We will embrace one another just as two brothers embrace one another. It is time for us to realize; a great majority of problems in this region originate from disunion. For approximately a hundred years,the countries and nations of this region are being distanced from one another based on a fabricated history of lies and hearsay. Today, we will eliminate these distances, we must eliminate them. We will eliminate the prejudices. We must eliminate them. This breaks the routine, and we must break the routines. We are putting an end to a hundred years of longing. We must end it. Today wewill embrace as countries, as nations, just as two brothers embrace each other.”
