Adnan Oktar: The Balkans has always been Ottoman soilup until the inlands of Italy. Up until the vicinity of Italy, the whole region was land of Ottomans. Everywhere you see the signs of Ottomans, the beauty of Ottomans. Those places will become a city of peace, a territory of peace within Turkish Islamic Union… Turkish Islamic Union will offer them only abundance, richness and peace. Turkish Islamic Union will offer peace and happiness to everywhere including Bosnia and Albania.

Adnan Oktar: Syria wants to unite with Turkey, and Iraq. And if Syria and Iraq want it, so will everyone else. Azerbaijan wants it, and Armenia wants to unite with Turkey. Georgia wants it, so what else needs to be done? It is a union that will also include Lithuania. It will be a union that includes Lithuania, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and East Turkestan and all of them. AS FAR AS LIBYA. A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL EMERGE THAT STRETCHES AS FAR AS THE COAST AND INTERIOR OF AFRICA. TURKEY HAS PRIOR EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE FROM THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. AND THIS TIME ROUND, THE ERRORS OF THE OTTOMANS WILL NOT BE REPEATED. The perfect aspects of the Ottomans will be adopted, but not their errors or deficient aspects, and a perfect union will result.
