What He Said?What Happened?

Çıragan Iftar Meeting, 16 October 2008

When Turkey acts a solder brother there will be nobody in the whole regions who refuses to accept Turkey as older brother. Shiites, Jaferites, Saudis and the Iranians will all accept it. For example, when President Ahmadinejad came here he prayed behind a Sunni imam in a Sunni mosque. What does that mean? It means I will accept it if you are the leader. That is clear, He said, “I have given a political message here.” “I have issued a very important message,” he said. What more could he say? Hezbollah will accept it and everyone. Nobody in the whole region will refuse Turkish leadership. Because Turkey is a most moderate, agreeable and reasonable country. Its people are respectable and worthy, highly cultured and well brought up. And the country acted as leader for many years, as you know. It has experience from Ottoman times. Turkey will emerge as the older brother of all Turkic and all Islamic countries.  Everyone will see that. I am stating it openly; and I will again put my name to those words in 10 years’ time, insha’Allah.

Adnan Oktar: Yes, the leader must certainly be Turkey. Because it has experience and in terms of both of its structure and morality, it is a very perfect country; Turks and Turkey. Because it possesses the attributes of an ideal leader, Turkey must certainly be the leader. The Turkic countries we speak to are also of the same conviction. We are in contact with all Islamic countries. They are also of the same conviction. Nobody says “no” to this. The oly thing that remains is to make it happen as soon as possible in real life.

TURKEY IS THE RISING MODERATE POWER

In an interview he granted to German Welt am Sonntag, Ahmet Davutoglu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, stated that Turkey is the rising “moderate power.” Minister Davutoglu stated that those who propound the thesis that Turkey tends to the Islamic countries are non-cognizant of Turkey’s geography and that only 4 neighbour countries among the 12 countries have Muslim majority.
