Adnan Oktar: Thesun rises from where it sets and sets from where it rises. It generally happens like this. Since the sun set here, then it will rise from here. This is my first belief. My second belief, but my actual belief is, according to hadiths, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in Turkey. There are lots of hadiths. It was stated as Constantinople. Also there are lots of hadiths that states Turkish people will be assigned in this issue. There are lots of hadiths that states Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be among the Turks. As in terms of historical circumstances, it seems like this. In terms of social circumstances, it seems like this. THIS MEANS TURKEY IS THE NATURAL LEADER ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT FLOW OF THE OVERALL HISTORY. THERE ISN’T ANOTHER COUNTRY WHICH COMES FORWARD FOR THE LEADERSHIP EXCEPT TURKEY. The most ideal opinion which is accepted in all Islamic world is the leadership of Turkey. So whoever we ask, whichever Arabic country we ask, they want the leadership of Turkey. When we ask the Turkish countries, they want the leadership of Turkey too. So we haven’t seen anyone who wants a second country till now.

Adnan Oktar: Everyone must honestly believe that Turkey is heading in good direction and that we will really become a super state. Turkey will be a greater state than it has ever been in the past.Insha’Allah, it will be the leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. WE ARE AT THE INITIAL STAGES OF THIS HISTORIC MISSION. AND THE TURKISH NATION IS ONE THAT WILL FREE THE WHOLE WORLD FROM ANARCHY, TERROR, DISTRESS, PAIN AND ALL ITS SUFFERINGS. It is a really noble, decent nation toughened by troubles and sufferings. It has a spirit oriented towards managing the world and being of use to it. It seems that Allah has bestowed this task on our nation, Insha’Allah. We shall soon see this coming true, Insha’Allah.

Turkey sets an example not only for the Arab world but also for the West

Mr. Ahmet Altan, the prominent columnist ofTaraf daily in Turkey commented;

“Today every foreign journalist visiting our offices asks us the same question; ‘Will Turkey become a role model for the countries experiencing the Arab Spring?’ In my opinion, Turkey can not only become a role model for the Arab countries but also for the West. Let’s look at our neighbor Greece… In comparison to them, Turkey is almost like a heaven. How is this possible?Despite our ages-long admiration for the Western countries and the wealth of the Arab countries, how have we become a country envied by the Arabian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese and Hungarian people who go through some troubles today? I guess Rodin, the sculptor, has the answer in his famous phrase; “I removed the excessive part of the stone so the statue emerged.”Now Turkey is removing the excessive part of the stone.
