What He Said?What Happened?
 
Ciragan Palace  Iftar  Meeting, October 16-2008

Adnan Oktar: If Turkey takes the role of the elder brother, it will face no opposition through the geography including the people of Shia, Jafaris, Saudis and Iranians. For example, when Mr. Ahmadinejad was here in Turkey, he performed his prayer in a Sunni mosque behind a Sunni imam. What does that mean? Clearly, this means that; ‘if you become the leader I will accept it’. Openly he said: “I gave a significant political message here.” What else was he supposed to say? Hezbollah will also accept Turkey’s taking the lead. Everybody will accept it. I do not see anybody who will oppose the leadership of Turkey through this geography as Turkey is a moderate, affectionate and sensible country. Turkish people are respected, decent, sophisticated and cultivated. Besides Turkey is a country who has exercised the authority for ages as you know. Its experience has come from the times of Ottoman Empire. Turkey will appear as the elder brother of all Turkic and Arab countries.  Everybody will see this.  Now, I am telling you that after a period of ten years I will definitely put my signature under these words of mine in person, Insha’Allah.

Adnan Oktar: Yes, it is a must for Turkey to take the lead because Turkish people and Turkey is excellent in terms of experience, framework and moral stance.  Turkey holds the ideal qualities of a leader. So Turkey should be the leader.  All other Turkic countries, that we have talked to, hold the same opinion. We are in contact with all Islamic countries as well. They also share the same point of view. Nobody objects actually. Only, it needs to be implemented as soon as possible.
