Adnan Oktar A9 TV; April 11th, 2013

There is nothing to be called a "Kurdish issue" in the Southeast of Turkey, yet there is an issue of PKK, a communist ambition.

Both Ahmet Turk and Selahattin Demirtaş are very decent very kind people. Ahmet Turk has gone through great ordeals. And Selahattin Demirtaş is a very well-mannered young man. We are proud that they are Kurdish.

Turkish, Kurdish, Laz, Circassian.. They are all equal. There is no one in Turkey who claims otherwise.

We are not the ones to decide to be born Kurdish. Allah creates us like that. Or to be born Turk or Arabic. These are all defined in the destiny. Attempting to insult someone because of that, aggrieving that person, hurting him would be a grave depravedness. We are all brothers in religion, Islam is uniting us. We are the same ummah. The ummah of Mohammad (saas).

The mentality that states a Kurd should govern Kurdish people, a Turk should govern Turkish people and a Laz should govern Laz people is really terrible. Our Laz governor should go to South East, Kurdish governor should go to Aegean region and govern them. That would be great. We all are brothers, we are all together. In the verse, Allah says that Muslims are each other’s brothers.

Turkey will be together with out Kurdish brothers and sisters until the Last Day. We will not deliver them to the Marxist PKK. They should forget about that. Above all the geographical wealth and the rivers, waters, etc. of the South East, our brothers and sisters there are very important and precious for us.

Claim of supremacy over racial differences, loving another according to his/her race, giving value to people according to their races are horrible. We are all the ummah of Mohammad, we are all children of prophets. Supremacy comes only with piety.

His Highness Bediuzzaman is pure bred Kurdish.

Turkey can spread the companions' understanding of Islam to the whole world.

All those people living in Turkey are Turkish. Even if we come from Circassian origin, even if we are Arabs, Laz or Kurds; when asked we all give this response proudly. The name of the land we live on is Turkey.

People living in Turkey, everyone feeling love for Turkey -let them be Laz, Kurdish or Circasian- are called Turks.

Alevi, Kurdish, Turkish, Circassian; such discriminations are all created artificially. We, as a nation, are the casts of the same mold. There is no difference in between, there is no original aspect in any of these. We've melted in each other anyway, we are brothers and sisters that live together. We have no significant aspect that we differ from each other.

Severing our language ties with our Kurdish brothers would mean severing our social connection. Turkish being a common language is a beauty and simplicity.

Our brothers and sisters in the Southeast, those noble children of Bediuzzaman live by spirituality. If you take religion away, if you take faith, sacred values, customs, traditions and beauties away from them, you would kill them, you would ruin them.

Our Kurdish brothers and sisters are very proud, very honored and dignified people. They are very kind, extremely polite and decent.

The name Kurdistan is not acceptable. The name of this state is Turkey.

The sole aim in separating South East region is to annihilate our devout Kurdish brothers residing there.

May Allah forbid, any kind of separation in South East would cause the devastation of our Kurdish brothers.

The comfort of our Kurdish brothers would only be possible through the Unity of Islam. With the unity of Islam they will attain an utmost comfort and peace insha'Allah.

Our Master, His Highness Said Nursi was Kurdish and we are proud about his being Kurdish. His Highness Mawlana Halid was Kurdish and we are proud about his being Kurdish. Salah ad-Din Ayyub was Kurdish, we are proud about his being Kurdish. A great portion of the ulamas, great scholars, a great portion of the Islamic Scholars are all Kurdish. Kurdish people are very blessed people, they are a blessed community.

We will have our Kurdish brothers in Iran, in Iraq, in Syria, also in Turkey live a happiest life in the warm environment of the Unity of Islam, insha'Allah.

When the Unity of Islam is established, the regions in which our Kurdish brothers reside would of course be much more free, much more peaceful and prosperous. It is the Unity of Islam that will present them an unprecedented freedom, an unprecedented civilization and an unprecedented comfort and beauty.

Kurdish people are my brothers; they are a part of me. Laz people are my brothers as well. They are all the people of our nation. We are relatives, we are one, we are one family with them. Consequently we would not let anyone harm even a strand of their hair.

Under the mainframe of the unity of Islam, of course Kurdish, Laz, Circassian peoples, all peoples, all communities will live in peace. We all have coalesced within Turkey. We've become brothers in Turkey. When asked what nationality we are, we all say "We are Turkish". That is it.. And we are happy about that.

Our Kurdish brothers have a special place in my heart. They have been persecuted a lot, they have suffered a lot. And they have silently endured all those.
