Erdogan's "Neo-Ottoman" Ambitions

Submitted by Scott Craig (United States), Sep 17, 2020 at 09:42

Since this article by Mr. Pipes was written seven years ago it has to be viewed as more prophecy than mere journalism. Erdogan and his AKP Party have been building through state, corporate and military power, the Jihadi State which ISIS tried to create until Trump blew the entrails of that toy caliphate all over Mesopotamia. Erdogan rightfully declares the current Turkish state, "Neo-Ottomanism." A decade and more ago (before the fool, Angela Merkel) solicited the suicide of Europe by "inviting" millions of muslim "migrants" into Europe, Erdogan already had a plan to Islamify Europe by emptying its ghettos (gegecondular) of backward, rural and declasse Muslims into Europe's cities. Merkel became the willing concubine in Erdogan's plan and also his hareem.
