Erdogan’s Deception

The plan to dismantle the Ottoman Caliphate began with the deception of the “Greater Arab Kingdom.” Similarly, I believe the plan to build a strong Islamic bloc has started with what I call “Erdogan’s Deception.” Erdogan misled global powers into believing that his influence in Syria was limited to the Astana Agreement and that he was under the control of Iranian and Russian forces.

Today, however, we are surprised to see that his intelligence services have been working behind the scenes to overturn the situation in Syria by eliminating Iranian and Russian influence through the toppling of Assad’s regime. They have also been preparing the Syrian opposition, both militarily and politically, to establish a new Syrian state. Iranian influence has now been eradicated for good, and Russia is unwelcome among the Syrian people.

Currently, Turkey is the most powerful player in Syria. Erdogan has reaped massive benefits by hosting 4 million Syrians under the principle of the “Brotherhood of the Muhajireen and Ansar”:

1. Relieved domestic tensions in Turkey by returning Syrian refugees to their homeland.

2. Earned the respect and gratitude of millions of Syrians, including influential scientific, religious, and political elites.

3. Created an economic revival opportunity for Turkey by opening a massive market for construction and reconstruction companies, as well as a huge market for Turkish defense industries, among other sectors.

4. Thwarted the Kurdish separatist project, halting the growth of their power despite the U.S. and Israel’s investment of millions of dollars into it.

5. Delivered a significant blow to the “Greater Israel” project and the “New Middle East” plan, as well as to efforts to expand and deepen normalization policies.

6. Laid the foundation for major strategic projects by uniting highly skilled Syrian and Turkish minds.

7. Set the groundwork for a new axis of resistance, which, God willing, will strike a stronger blow to the usurping entity.

These achievements will not only benefit Syrians and Turks but, God willing, will also serve as a prelude to a great opening for the Islamic world—particularly with the anticipated breakthrough in Egypt. This will further enhance the possibility of forming a strong and impactful Islamic bloc in the emerging global order.

O Allah, complete Your blessings upon the nation of Your Prophet, our master Muhammad (peace be upon him). Use us for Your cause and do not replace us, O Lord of Majesty and Honor. O Allah, accept the martyrs of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” who watered the seeds of this nation’s liberation and revival with their pure blood.
