ADNAN OKTAR: Thanks be to Allah, the Turkish-Islamic Union will emerge from this as a very powerful and wealthy, prosperous and a leader country in the Turkish-Islamic world. Turkish-Islamic Union will be a brotherly institution with a single body, insha’Allah.

This nation is on duty, when I say a thing I do not take it back, I have never taken anything back. By Allah’s leave, I am saying that Turkey will 100%, not 99%, but 100% will be the leader country. And it will manage and be the leader of all the Turkic states and all Islamic countries. We have come so far already. For example, just yesterday Tayyip Erdoğan was talking about opening up the border with Georgia, saying it is a virtual border and we are going to open it. He says we will open it up entirely, and what does that mean? Turkish-Islamic Union of course. Georgia and the Georgians are our beloved brothers, and we live in very close relations with them. Sure, we have tens of thousands of Georgian brothers. We regard them as Turks. There is no such thing as Georgians. The Armenians are in any case the loyal nation. They are very dear to us. But do you see the result of delaying matters? The Armenian economy collapsed and monster inflation began and prices rose many times over. Is that not a terrible pity for people there, for the children, the youth and the old?

But we are righteous, we administered the region for 600 years and we are the children of a most glorious civilization. The time has now come, the time to assume this duty once again, insha’Allah. Insha’Allah we are being charged by Allah, our Prophet (saas) has already told us that this will happen, and it is happening just as he said. And people can see this also. They are delighted as soon as they even hear the word Ottoman. Just look at the splendor and beauty on this Ottoman emblem (pointing to an Ottoman artwork on the wall). One develops a feeling of power, might, justice, beauty, aesthetics and splendor as soon as one looks at it. It will happen, and this will bring salvation for all mankind. It will grant salvation to the United States, Russia, China and everywhere. There was no egoism or selfishness or greed in the Ottoman Empire. They did not try to assimilate anyone or do away with anyone’s language, religion or customs. They let everyone have their own head, but those who took them as role models happily converted to Islam.

They never used any compulsion. The French, for example, applied an oppressive system when they occupied Algeria. In other words, they sought to interfere in their culture, religion, beliefs and language. But the Ottomans did no such thing.

An ultra modern, laicist, very powerful system full of love, affection and compassion. We will bear the full Ottoman spirit and we may do a thousand times better things than they did, but we will not repeat their errors. But does that necessarily mean being Ottoman? Does it have to mean a sultanate. We are the children of the Ottomans, and that is our title. But we have no intention of introducing a sultanate, our system will be a modern, laicist one. But we will enliven many times more love, affection, friendship, mutual aid and brotherhood than ever the Ottomans did, insha’Allah.

But think now. If all those states in the Caucasus, Georgia and the rest bind themselves to Turkey, even a child will know how free and at ease they will be able to live with their own traditions and customs in total solidarity and brotherhood. It is clear that Russia can never manage this, but we will do it, insha’Allah. We will also include Russia in the Turkish-Islamic Union. In that event the matter will be totally resolved, insha’Allah. Because the Russians are very fine people. They are very clever and intelligent, and including them in the Turkish-Islamic Union is a major aim of ours, insha’Allah.

Russia is innocent, we have no accounts to square with Russia. Only thing Russia wants is to live at ease as there are children, women and elderly people in the country. It wants them to be able to live in peace. Once they are loved and respected, and the Russians are very lovable people, they will most sincerely want it, as they are already part if the Islamic Union. Russia has now become an Islamic country and of course we will admit it as a responsibility, since they have already joined as a genuinely Islamic country. It is a country with an intensive Turkish presence, and they are clever and virtuous people. The Russians are very polite and well behaved, and also morally virtuous, so why should we leave them out? Of course we will admit them, insha’Allah.
