A CALL FOR A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION






                                 AN INTERVIEW WITH
                          MR. ADNAN OKTAR BYTASCA
                           (TURKISH ARAB ASSOCIATION

                          Adnan Oktar: The Turkish-Islamic Union will protect
                   the integrity of all countries. Pakistan will still be Pakistan. Turkey
                will still be Turkey, and Iran will still be Iran. In other words, there is
                no pretension to a regime change. But there is joy, love and brother-
                hood spreading across the whole foundation and being implemented
                as a national policy. It is a union that will result from the unification
                of hearts, of love. That will be a real Turkish-Islamic Union. Some peo-
                ple may think of a union established by state force, intimidation or
                fear. The fact, however, is that love lies at the heart of Islam, and
                peace and peace of mind, and openness and joy. An atmosphere of
                rejoicing. Friendship. Establishing these among Muslim countries and
                Turkic states. Establishing a Turkish-Islamic Union under the leadership
                of the Turkic states, themselves led by Turkey. We want good inten-
                tions and honesty to rule here and reciprocal investment in industry,
                science and technology. We want all such investment to be unfet-
                tered, and for there to be no passport or visa regime. We want that
                obligation to be lifted so there can be free trade and a free exchange
                of love and friendship. In other words, we want anyone producing
                an ID card to be able to cross the border. In fact, there should be
                  no need to show it to anyone. I must be able to take my ID
                     card and go to Azerbaijan. Or Syria, or Kazakhstan.
                        I must be free to go to Morocco, Tunisia or Al-
                          geria. I will get on a ship and go to Tunisia
                             and Algeria. And I will talk with my
                                  brothers there. We will
