Aktay’s exclamation “all praise is to God alone” is not only an indication that he thinks it is a great thing that Turkey is “disturbing peace and stability in the Middle East,” but that Aktay (and probably others) believes that in doing so, it is carrying out the will of Allah. The likening of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict to the “Palestinian” jihad only underscores the fact that Aktay, and likely others in Turkey, clearly thinks that Azerbaijan is waging an Islamic jihad against Armenia.
“Let the Armenian, Israeli troublemakers complain all they want,” by Yasin Aktay, Yeni Safak, October 8, 2020:
There are some who cannot make head nor tail out of Armenia’s out of the blue attack on Azerbaijan, which it has been occupying for the last 28 years. In fact, it is because of this nonsense that there are some who even say that in the latest attacks in particular were launched not by Armenia but Azerbaijan.
Yet, Armenia’s attack has a very clear and visible target. Sometimes, a country’s approach to alleviate the pressures it is being subjected to due to occupation and, as a matter of fact, turn the occupation into a gain, is other occupations, new occupations that will be abandoned in the first negotiation. If the occupations to take place with new attacks are accomplished like the previous ones, then that’s all good; but if the world shows reaction, then the path to take is quite simple. The latest attacks would be abandoned upon the severity of the world’s reaction; and if there is a new occupation, then troops will be withdrawn, thus the old occupation will be forgotten.
The more negotiations are spread over time, the occupation turns into a gain, a physical state that is difficult to turn back from. This has been the case in many occupation experiences. As the emphasis today on Israel’s operations to establish new settlement areas and annexation efforts increases, nobody even remembers its 1967 borders. Meanwhile, the occupation bar of 1967, almost rendered the homeland regions lost in Nakba in 1948 as Israel’s legitimate right; the state of the Palestinians who were left landless in that exile has already been normalized by the world. Let the UN’s decisions condemn Israel and call onto it to immediately back off from this occupation all it wants. As long as there is no effective sanction, Israel will loutishly continue on with its occupations, relying on the fact that time will inure everyone to it.
The Palestinians, the true owners of the land, who adopted defiance, saying that the only way to end this occupation is through resistance, are identified as terrorists. This is because they have chosen resistance, which includes violence, over dialogue. Yet a simple physics rule states that if there is resistance somewhere, then the source of the violence is not those resisting but the force that has caused it….
Yet, if there truly is a desire to contribute to peace and dialogue, the first step to be taken is to seriously pressure the invading side to immediately leave the lands it is occupying. The zeal displayed by those who have no intention, plan or attempt to end the occupation against those who take action to end their own occupation, only indicates that they are accomplices in this crime.
Add to this Israeli Defense Minister Benni Gantz’s accusation against Turkey that it is “disturbing peace and stability in the Middle East.”
What else could one say but “All praise is to God alone”?
Raining on the parade of the earth’s trouble makers, the honor to oppose the order of occupation, annexation, robbery, coup, torture and massacre they have been carrying out with “stability,” is more than enough in this world. Let those trouble makers continue to complain all they want.

Time for the civilized world to rebuke the Turkish barrows!

Allah is NOT God. They have a totally different description. Almost all their words have a different meaning than what we think.

Most people don’t know,but regarding the Armenian genocide that killed 50% of Armenians directly and indirectly ( 1.5 million ):
It was carried out by the CPU( Comittee of Union and Progress) aka the YOUNG TURKS,and had 3 TOP LEADERS
THE 3 PASHAS
1.Mehmed Talat Pasha (1874–1921), the Grand Vizier (prime minister) and Minister of the Interior
2.Ismail Enver Pasha (1881–1922), the Minister of War
3.Ahmed Cemal Pasha (1872–1922), the Minister of the Navy.
The GRANDSON of one of the trio responsable acknowledges ( YEARS ago ) there was an Armenian genocide.
His name is HASAN CEMAL ( grandson of CEMAL PASHA ) and he says the Turkish government should APOLOGIZE to Armenians and pay PAY COMPENSATION to them.

What is often overlooked is that was also a Turkish genocide of the Ethnic Greek Anatolian Christians.
Anatolia is now practically Chrisyian Free.
The Christians were exterminated.
Their homes, lands, businesses and farms were plundered by the Muslims and churches were either destroyed or converted into mosques.
Now the predatory Muslim Turks through their Azeri proxies, and Syrian and even Afghan Al Qaida and ISIS mercenaries are trying to do the same to Armenian Christians who are still the ethnic overwhelming majority in Nagorno Karbakh

Once again, someone is complaining about Israel’s occupation of over land that was obtained through defense of its existence. In 1948 as the last British soldier boarded the ship returning the Brits home, the Arabs attacked Israeli citizens as they slept. After the Arabs were completely defeated and later in the wars of self-defense where the Israelis defeated them again and again, they rightfully retained and incorporated land seized from the Arabs for defensive purposes. I just wish that I could have the opportunity to discuss the rights of annexing land after defeating an enemy that attacked them with no provocation other than their mere existence. I would point out the diminutive state of Austria compared to the vastness of the Austro Hungry empire where the land of that empire was taken by the states that were attacked by them. Germany is much smaller in land mass since its defeat in WWI and WWII and I have not witnessed one EU member nation suggest that the old Deutsch/Prussian lands be returned.
I would like to ask (not the Arabs who claim that once Islamic territory always forever its land) western leaders why the double standard. I do not recall Merkel or Bo Jo stating that the Spanish return the Al-Andalus to the Arabs.

He wanted to be their saviour or at least a pivotal figure in their history, but the people of the book collectively said “You don’t know your facts and appear mentally unstable.” Little did they know that a narcissist never forgets and that he would build an army of other rejected people who would seek to annihilate them, with no end date.

Pro-Erdogan journalist says ‘all praise is to God alone’ to accusations that Turkey is disturbing Mideast peace
……………………
In other words, he is admitting it.
SAFI says
Such is the completely controled media environment of Turkey that Turks have been led to believe that it is Armenia that initiated this round of hostilities (as this article itself demonstrates)… other than that his description of how occupations work is basically spot on but I wonder why he chose “Palestine” as his example instead of Cyprus which is a perfect example of an occupation which has been “normalized” via “negotiations spread over time”. TheTurks understand this mechanism very well because they’re practising it themselves.
Jerry says
The original “Mandate on Palestine” was, ostensibly in order to establish in Palestine a national home for the Jewish People.
The duplicitous British first excised 82% of the original land meant to comprise Palestine in order to establish a previously non-existent Muslim State first called Trans Jordan and now simply Jordan.
Instead of facilitating the establishment of a National Home for the Jewish People they hindred and obstructed its formation and denied Jewish true refugees fleeing for ther life from Nazi Extermination the refuge they offer to undocumented mainly Muslim Arab, Asian and African illegal economic migrants.
Israel only declared Independence after the Brotish abdicated and lest Palestine, while still arming and supplying Israel’s enemies.
Tables have been turned somewhat when Israel was supplying the US with sophisticated weapon systems such as Iron Dome.
Shamefully, though, Israel political and business elite opportunistically and short sightedly were complicit in the Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide and were recently supplying the Azeri Muslims with sophisticated weapon that are going into the hands of Muslim extremists and may eventually be turned agains the Israeli Jews.
SAFI says
I agree about the typical british duplicity which also played out similarly in Cyprus and India where the Brits also allied themselves to Muslim minorities to try to frustrate the self-determination of these places
