A CALL FOR A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION

We Are Making Step by Step Progress

toward the Turkish-Islamic Union
There has been an apparent acceleration toward the forma-
tion of the Turkish-Islamic Union since this book was first pub-
lished. The active role in foreign policy and fine results obtained
by Turkey have confirmed that it must be the leader of the
Turkish-Islamic world, while major steps have also been taken
within the Turkish-Islamic world. These major advances include

the acceleration toward the establishment of an Islamic Common
Market, Syrian officials raising the question of lifting the border
between Syria and Turkey, Iraqi leaders calling for unification
with Turkey, the peoples of many Turkish-Islamic countries say-
ing "We want the Turkish-Islamic Union," historic developments
between Armenia and Turkey and the raising of the question of

opening the border, headlines referring to the need of the world
for a new Ottoman Empire, increased economic and cultural col-
laboration between Muslim countries, and a large number of re-
ports in the foreign press referring to the need for Turkey as
leader.
These developments will gather pace in the future, and the
world will soon witness the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic

Union.
