After the defeat of the Baath part lead by Bashir Al Assad, the Turkish leader is aspiring to expand his territory not only in the current Turkey but also, the levant, North Africa and all the way to Somalia. This is what he said to Turkish scientists and researchers.
“History has a mission designated for us, and we have to act in line with this,” the Turkish president said.
The Turkish government has been accused of seeking to revive the Ottoman Empire’s legacy. Erdogan, however, reportedly dismissed the claims during his speech, describing Turkey’s efforts as strengthening historical ties with former Ottoman territories.
“Some people cannot grasp it. They cannot grasp what we are doing in Libya or Somalia. They are not unaware of our mission.”
