“So far, the German policy of keeping hidden its leadership role in its attempt to reconstitute the Ottoman Empire has succeeded.”
correlation is not causation
“Germany” was not BEHIND
(a) U.S. intervention in Iraq,
(b) the rise of the Islamist party now dominating Turkey,
(c) Syrian reaching out to Iran as a counter to Wahabi-Sunni-Saudi & Gulfstate-Arab Sunni opposition to Assad.
2013 is not the 12th through 14th centuries.
Someone is spinning a lot of different “Ottoman empire” myths in a distraction from what is really happening in the Middle East.
