power and bears the seeds of

It is clear that a glorious civilization will
emerge from these roots.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY KUSADASI TV,
JULY 14th, 2008

Presenter: What can you tell us about the Turkish-Islamic Union?
Many people regard it as utopian. That is how many people look at
it. Do you really believe it will happen?
Adnan Oktar: If, may Allah forbid, Konya, Izmir and Adana were
separated from us, and we then said, "But we are brothers, how is this
possible? We must unite" would it be at all logical for someone to then
say that they are separate entities, that the idea is utopian and out of
the question? No. In the same way, it is illogical for the Turkic states to
be separated from us. We share the same religion, speak the same lan-
guage and share the same racial roots. Everything about us is the same;
our culture, customs and traditions. There is no reason for us to be sep-
arated. That is why the passport requirement must be lifted between
these countries, between the Turkic states and Islamic countries. And the
visa. People must be free to come and go as they please. Trade must
be as free as possible. Connections must be as free as possible. That
happens in the EU, so why not in the Turkish-Islamic Union? People
travel and settle to the country they choose in the EU. They do not need
passports or visas. And we are brothers, so why should we not do
that? There is no reason at all. Of course it can happen. The Turk-
ish-Islamic lands are the most attractive in the world and have
the world's greatest mineral reserves and the largest oil
reserves. We have flour, butter and sugar, and
now we just need to bake the cake. That is
what all the Turkish people want.
