A CALL FOR A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION







                      AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ADNAN OKTAR
                                BY CRIMEAN NEWSPAPERS,
                                   NOVEMBER 14th, 2008


                              Ad nan Ok tar: The Turkish-Islamic Union is
                       not utopian. That would be like asking how
                    Konya and Istanbul, Erzurum and Ankara came
                    together. It is the state of division that is pecu-

                    liar. Would it be at all logical for one to take Erzu-
                    rum or Konya from us and say that "your uniting to-
                    gether is a pipe dream"? Division was forcibly im-
                    posed on us at one time. But if there is a nation, and
                      everyone uses the same language and shares the same
                            religion, then they are one nation. How could
                                 they all be separate? ... Of course the

                                     states will remain separate. Azerbai-
                                         jan, for example, will remain
                                             as a separate state, but
                                                there are two states,
                                                    one nation.
