Some text from this German article (2 weeks ago freshness):
Turkish prime-minister Erdogan said a speech in Kuwait about how he wanna create union with arabic countries. He called to remember the community of Arabs and Turks which connects them historically.
This community, according to Erdogan, is based primarily on Islam, as well as the joint struggle against the Christian invaders. "Together, the Turks and Arabs were able to protect these lands during the Crusades" - he said. And in the next eras "we fought together against the invaders", said Erdogan, also mentioning "the occupation of Erzurum.
According to Erdogan, today should awaken to new life "1000 years of brotherhood" and create "a political, economic and cultural union". "We belong to one civilization. We have a common history ", - stressed Erdogan.
"We take the pain the people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan as own pain" - said Erdogan. In each of these three countries American military strikes killed many Muslims. "If one of the organs of the body is in pain, then the whole body feels pain. And, if brutally victimized children of Gaza, we feel the same pain as if brutally victimized by our own children. The problem of Gaza - is our problem. The problem of Jerusalem - that is our problem".
In addition to the evaluation of a new and better world, built with the help of a new solidarity between Turks and Arabs, Mr. Erdogan referred to the European Union. "On the one hand, we will continue to pursue negotiations with the European Union on the other hand, we will not turn away from those regions with which we are bound by centuries of shared history." According to Erdogan, nobody abroad can not say that it has an impact on Turkey's foreign policy. "Some people criticize us when we talk about Baghdad, Kabul, Gaza, Jerusalem and Palestine ... We define our foreign policy. We will implement its own foreign policy program. Arabs - they are our brothers and sisters. "
Erdogan stressed that Islamic terror does not exist. Anyone who deals with terror, not a Muslim, because Islam means "peace", he said. This means that we should do away with non-Muslim terror, what can be done with the help of God, and with the help of a new solidarity of Turkish and Arab brotherly countries.
