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.
It could cost ZERO and I would never go to Turkey. They would probably eliminate me.
The polish King was not just wearing a flashy uniform, he was a fierce soldier in his own right. This was an incredible victory that changed history.
Absolutely correct. BUT, remember, now he is partnering with Russia?
Thanks, did not know that. Did know that Turks have a reputation for making some strong coffee. Not big cups, but strong.
They have a good start on it there.
Yes, I understand that. As far as military conquest they could not. As far as taking over and out breeding it is possible. We have not yet played cowboys and Islamist yet.
Yes, it was a decisive naval battle.
He can declare whatever he wants, he is not the Dictator. Have not herd him call himself the Sultan yet.
I want Constantinople back. Then Manzikert.
May it be so.
I don’t fault your logic.
The Turks are totally propagandized. They have many brave soldiers, many of those are not the brightest.
They have many F-16’ and lots of US made equipment plus a huge number of German tanks.
Their “ruler” wants to conquer the world. I think even the Arabs (Turks aren’t Arabs) know what Erdooo really is.
For 40 years no one has stood up to Turkey when they do nutty stuff. It is long past time.
