Members of the Turkey Youth Foundation (TÜGVA), an organization affiliated with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s son, said in a statement on Friday that the call to prayer is a renewal of the intention to complete the unfinished conquest of Vienna, among other major world cities.
Foundation members in Diyarbakır issued a statement after morning prayer to protest a March 8 feminist march in Istanbul that had previously been targeted by Erdoğan. The president claimed that the participants booed the call to prayer, an allegation denied by participants.
Speaking on behalf of TÜGVA Seher Şenyüz reiterated Erdoğan’s claim and said the women protested the call to prayer on International Women’s Day.
“The call to prayer for us is a renewal of the intention to conquer Rome, New York, Beijing, Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin, Paris and complete the unfinished conquest of Vienna,” the group said in the statement.
The conquest of Vienna is significant in Turkish history since in 1683 the Ottoman Empire failed in its siege of the city, which for many signaled the beginning of the decline of the empire.
Erdoğan’s son Bilal Erdoğan sits on the advisory board of the foundation.
In January a report by Sözcü columnist Çiğdem Toker found that the İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality had transferred an exorbitant amount of money to foundations run by President Erdoğan’s family members.
The report indicated that the municipality granted TL 74.3 million ($13.9 million) to TÜGVA in 2018 and previous years.
If you are not familiar with the Siege of Vienna in 1683, the significance of Vienna in the Turk mind is lost.
Here is a description of that battle that I found a number of years ago:
And here is a .pdf describing why the battle has such significance to the conflict of Christians and Turks.
Polish General Sobieski saved Germany from Muslims
And never forget the significance of our own 9-11.
Bravo! for the Winged Hussars! I say.
Nothing to sophisticated about them. It seems like every time one opens the mouth, it just begs for justification for killing them all.
The flaw is written in their book.
They may choose to forget it, or not even read it, but it is still there for those in the future to read.
Yes, I posted another article about the General and his Winged Hussars.
I’ll have to look it up tomorrow. Must leave now to care for my father for the evening.
This is good history. Good guys won.
They must have knocked a few zeros off of the TL. I once paid over 10 million for 2 nights in a hotel in a suburb of IST some decades ago.

The Saracens gave up their attempt to conquer Vienna, fled to another battle but left behind a ton of coffee bags. The Viennese noticed, took them in, and that is where “Vienna roast” coffee got its start. Now you know the rest of the story.
They already have London, they will soon have Paris and Berlin.
Vienna has been outflanked!
It’s long past time to liberate Constantinople from the Turks.
The Muslims can make these statements because the naïve Kafirs don't seem to understand the threat of Islam and consider it just another religion that should be respected. - Tom
A hundred years before the Siege of Vienna there was the Battle of Lepanto which was also successful.
Is this Erdogan’s Declaration of War against the whole world?
That was amazing! I watched and left a comment. Thanks for posting the link!
Lancers are h*** on unformed infantry.
Erdogan is simply reiterating Mad Mo’s declaration of war on the rest of the world.
It’s been going on since 622 A.D.
Mad Mo made it so.
You’re welcome.
If you’re not familiar with Sabaton, they make songs about historical desperate battles and the men that fought them.
You’d probably like their song Primo Victoria too.
Anyhoo, I think that particular video was scenes from a Polish movie about the battle of Vienna with the Winged Hussars song edited in.
