Illusions of the Caliphate in the thinking of “Erdogan” and of the Islamic parties in the Arab world

Since Recep Tayyip Erdogan came to power in Turkey in 2003 AD, the Arab region has been the scene of conflict and separatist projects are expanding within it. Turkey’s interference in the internal affairs of many Arab countries has gone beyond all limits.

Perhaps this is due to the nature of the Ottoman sultan promoting himself as the caliph of the Muslims and trying to revive the legacy of the Ottoman Empire, which fell after the end of World War I in the year 1919 AD Since he came to power in Turkey, Erdogan did not miss any opportunity to promote himself among the credulous Arabs, which is the hope of the simple and that the realization of the Arab / Islamic dream of development and development will be in his hands. Riots of the Arab Spring in early 2011.

Erdogan has been working for years to expand into many countries of the Arab region to realize his expansionist ambitions, taking advantage of the ideological affinity with the political groups of Islam in those countries. Almost a century (1924 AD) after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Erdogan revealed his expansionist ambitions, speaking of what he called “ancestral heritage”, which stretched from Central Asia and the depths of Europe and the Arab world from east to west. Erdogan’s knot is that he has not yet understood that the world has changed and that the illusions of the caliphate have disappeared from their roots and all its causes have completely withdrawn in the light of new facts and new data that will not allow Turkey or other countries in the region to be a stronghold for spreading religious fanaticism and supporting extremists (whatever their affiliation may be) by jumping on the facts of the modern era that all peoples of the world have agreed on since the end of World War II in 1945 CE that “religion is for God and the country is for everyone”.

It appears that “Erdogan” is obsessed with illusions of grandeur and influence, trading in his country’s geopolitical position and trying through this to restore what he describes as the glories of the Ottoman Empire. From these illusions and arrogance, Erdogan drew a new map for his country and included Syria and Libya as historical parts of the Ottoman Empire. In this context, the London newspaper Al-Arab recently published a report claiming that Erdogan had sent dangerous political signals about considering Libya and Syria as areas of influence or part of the new Turkey, and that the Turks l ‘they lost after World War I, and now it is time to restore it. In response to questions from the Turkish opposition about the reasons for Turkey’s presence in Syria and Libya, Erdogan stressed, saying: If we evade the struggle in Syria, Libya, the Mediterranean and the entire region, the price will be high in the future.

Erdogan’s denial of these stable realities in today’s world may explain his arrogance or madness in the political race and military intervention in Syria and then Libya, regardless of the reactions of Arab countries and the world’s leading countries against them. expansionist policies devoid of reason and logic. And not only endanger the future of the Arab region, but rather it will have a negative impact on many European countries due to the waves of illegal immigration that these countries will have to face due to the instability and insecurity of the countries concerned.

Unfortunately for Erdogan, most of the Arab peoples are conscious people who bet on a better future, in which there is no place for remnants of ignorance and political traffickers of religion that Erdogan feeds in Turkey to foment unrest and unrest under the spoils of religion or slogans of democracy in which they do not believe. All these scenes confirm that “Erdogan” did not learn from history and did not realize that the Arab peoples, like other peoples of the world, reject colonialism and occupation anywhere.
