what their religion or ethnic origin. Some of the main ways in which
this can be brought about are as follows:
1. It is obvious that the Uighur Turks favor peace and security. But
peace in the region can only be ensured if the security of our Uighur
brothers is guaranteed. The international community has important re-
sponsibilities in that respect. The support of international societies and
organizations is essential for our Uighur Turk and Chinese brothers to
be able to live in peace. Democratic pressure from these organizations,
especially the UN, on the Chinese government, will ensure that the ad-
ministration follows a line that is more peaceable toward the problems
and legitimate demands of our Uighur brothers, and respects their
human rights. When the necessary encouragement and direction is pro-
vided, when the international community acts as a guarantor, it will be
easier to establish peace in the region.
2. It is natural for China to be keen to protect its national and eco-
nomic interests. But this cannot be established through oppression and
aggression. The path that will make China prosperous and strengthen
its economic and social regeneration lies in a conception that respects
human rights, is democratic and loving, and that defends freedom of
ideas and belief. The only solution that can calm Chinese fears, such as
lack of access to energy resources, economic losses, loss of territory or
fragmentation is the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union. The
Turkish-Islamic Union will establish an environment in which bor-
ders are lifted, there is freedom of trade and investment and in
which all communities have equal access to energy resources.
In this way, China will be able to spread its investments
over a wide area from Tanzania to Indonesia and sell its
good across a wide territory, and Muslims will be able
to invest in China on a large scale. China will regener-

Islamic Union, will be spared from having to use its
citizens as a cheap labor force and will enjoy abun-
dance and plenty all over.
3. Islam is a religion of peace. All forms of vio-
